Can't tell: If you have a skin lesion that is changing in size, color or symptoms, you need to be seen and have it evaluated. There are many clinics that work off of a sliding scale fee system based on your income as you are not alone in being without insurance. Please find one of tese clinics and get checked out.

Needs evaluation: Spots that have changed in size, color, shape or elevation need to be evaluated by a skin specialist as soon as possible. Check in your community to see if there is a free clinic or community clinic that has a dermatologist or ask a family member to help you with costs if necessary. Do not take a risk with your health because of financial concerns.
