Does This Look Cancerous?

This is a couple moles on my inner left thigh that I've had for several years. Should I be concerned?

Re: Does This Look Cancerous?

They look benign. I got welding warts all over my arms. I burned a couple off with a magnifying glass. Takes a few weeks for healing.

They're not at all symmetrical though. How could they be benign?

Re: Does This Look Cancerous?

How big in diameter are they? Bigger than a pencil eraser, I'd show them to my doctor next checkup, but they are most likely okay.

I have one on my face like this, I showed it to my doc last month, she said it was okay. it's tiny though. I don't know. Obviously you're concerned, show them to a doc.

I would say the bigger one is about the size of an eraser. Certainly not bigger though.

They look to me like Superficial Spreading Melanoma

Oh, yeah if they are that big, I would be worried too. Def show them to a doc, in fact I wouldn't wait, I'd make an appt just for that. Good luck.

Re: Does This Look Cancerous?

Please get it checked...watching someone very close to me lose the battle with melanoma because they waited to get checked...can't begin to tell you how this has destroyed lives... :(

Like I said, the bigger one is a bit bigger than an eraser head, and the smaller one is about the size of a nail head, maybe a bit smaller.

I have had them both for about 5 years
