in Skin Cancer #1

Hello everbody, I am very afraid that I have skin cancer. I have two strange lesions, the first one  appeared in June, then disappeared for some days and then appeared again I went to the doctor and he told that is not a melanoma and sent me home, the second one appeared 2 days ago, do you think ant of them is strange?

2nd lesion: http://imageshack.com/a/img674/1013/Ct8FVy.jpg 

PS: I have eczema, but I think that this is nothing related to that. I have 17 years old. 

PLZ Help.

    Don't be panic. If your doctor looked over it then it would be fine. But still if you have any doubt then I would recommend to visit certified dermatologist for check up about a suspicious skin mole as it may be early sign of melanoma which is a sign of cancer.

    Not all skin cancers are Melanomas

    Not all skin cancers are melamomas.  I developed 2 other types - SCC(Squamous Cell Carcinoma) and BCC (Basal Cell Carcinoma).
