Mole - skin cancer or no?


I am eager to know if I have a normal mole(s), or a mole that could be cancerous. First off, I am 15 years old. I have a slightly raised mole, or what could also be a freckle by the look of it, on my face. I have had this as long as I can remember. From the cancer signs I have seen on the internet, it looks okay. As I got older, sometime before I was in 5th grade (I can't remember), I started to get 2 more small and slightly raised freckles or moles. Something important to add is that the main one that I have had (the one that I have had as long as i can remember), I have picked at, and eventually got to the point where it scabbed and came off. After some time it grew back to practically how it was before, and if anything definitely not smaller. To add, it bled in that area when I did that. Is this some sign of cancer? Also, I have a couple small moles, or at least freckle looking on my stomach, and I think that I have always had these, but can't remember.

edit: I forgot to add, should I get all my moles checked out to be safe? And I have been thinking about talking about it with my parents but I feel kind of embarrassed.

if you ever pick at moles, or they come off or they bleed you should ALWAYS get them checked out..

whats there to be embaressed about pal, its only moles, its not like your talking about sex problems lol.. just ask your parents, can i go to the doctors to get this checked out.. or just ask them if they think its all healthy.. trust me.. just do it.. its better to be on the safe side

goodluck :)

moles are nothing birth marks which can as well continue until death. I've more than 100 moles on the surface of my entire body.
It is not cancerous; until and unless u try to cut it with knife/blade/sharpener, etc.
when it is raised, it may not be a mole.it is wiser to show them to ur parents and if need be, let them take u to a dermatologist/local homeopath.
With ur little knowledge, please, for heaven's sake, don't brand them as cancerous.
good luck to u.

The best way is to go to the doctors straight away;
so they can remove it if it cancerous :)
