I have tons of moles.do i have skin cancer? |
so many moles have formed on my skin next year. should i b worried? is there any way i can get rid of them? In the majority of cases moles are fine or 'friendly'. You should go to a dermatologist so they can thoroughly examine your skin for signs of cancer. Caught early than skin cancer is curable. Most moles are 'benign' . If you want to have benign moles removed the doctor can do this usually in their office. Sometimes they will slice them off very quickly, or sometimes they can use cryosurgery, which is liquid nitrogen that will freeze the mole and than it will drop off. However, you will first need to go to a dermatologist for a complete body screening. They will identify any suspicous moles and remove them for biopsy. If there are than any benign moles you want removed they will also do that. Skin Cancer Foundation http://www.skincancer.org/ Medline Plus: Skin Cancer http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/skinc... There are three major types of skin cancer to check for. Here are some images to guide you: What Squamous cell carcinoma looks like http://www.skincarephysicians.com/skinca...

I don't know go see a doctor Go to a skin dr. no one can tell over the internet You have to see a dermatologist who will look at each one and remove any that may be cancerous. << Has moles Yes, you should be worried and you should schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. Most "safe" moles grow before a person reaches 18 years old. The formation of many new moles over a short time period (a year) is cause for concern. You don't NECESSARILY have skin cancer, but you should have them looked at for abnormalities in case it's a possibility. Remember, skin cancer is one of the easiest to cure if it is caught early. There is no "at home" remedy that is safe for removing moles. The only way is at a dermatologist's office, either with a laser or normal surgery. It is painless and quick either way. They just use a tiny needle with anesthetic in the area and you don't feel a thing. You're able to leave the office within 5-10mins afterwards. I've had 3 moles removed for biopsy -- nothing cancerous, but better safe than sorry. |
