I think I have skin cancer, and I'm only 13! What is it?

Well, since I was as young as I can remember, like two years old, I've had this extremely noticeable, dark brown, round mole/freckle on my stomach [over my ribcage]. It's hideous! and it's like a big, thick freckle. Mum says that if it was skin cancer, it would be itchy and irritating and the area would be extremely raised. But it's not, and only ONCE it's been itchy. Is it cancer? Am i panicking a bit too much? Or is it perfectly fine, just a freckle? aarggh worrying!!

signs of skin cancer: ABCD: A-abnormal shape B-border C-color & D-diameter.

if it's super dark or if it's not symmetrical, then have a dermatologist check it out. chances are it's just a freckle.

Since you've had it since as young as you can remember it's probably just a birth mark.

Skin cancer spots appear after a lot of sun exposure and get darker as time goes by.

If you've had it since you were two, It's most likely nothing. If you and your parents are still worried I would go see a dermatologist.
