A member asked:

I have a round birthmarth about 1.5cm in diameter. i think they call it a 'cmn' type. i've just found a hard lump under it which is sore to touch.

Show it to a skin-sp: If the birth mark is black or brown, then you have to be alert that a melanoma can arise from a birthmark.You should have ite xamined by your doctor and preferbaly see a skin specilaist (dermatologist). Any lump associated with a black mole/birth mark needs to be biopsied to rule out melanoma.

I get small hard lumps on the base of my skull. They are sore to the touch, and they are really hard. They look just like regular skin, no redness. They typically last a week at a time and I get them very often. Any help?
