Hi. New here. About a week ago, i popped what i thought was a blackhead on my back. It did bleed. However; it went from that to a red and black crusty spot that doesnt go away. I have history of sun poisoning and i Have laid in many tanning beds which i havent done since last year. Heres another story with that. One day when i got out of the tanning bed i notcied what looked  like a mole appear on my right upper breast. It went away but left a scar looking mark that wasnt even in the shape of the mole or whatever it was. Weird. That was anout a year ago. I also have a mark behind my ear that has appeared over a year ago also. I thought it was a blackhead and but that has grown into another crusty raised spot. Anyways, anyone with any feedback would be very helpful to me. I did just make an appointment with a dermatoloigist and will see him next Friday.

 

Another question, Is there anyway to upload photos here?

    Hi. I had to reschedule my

    Hi. I had to reschedule my appointment for this Tuesday. Will let ya know then. Thanks.

    I have now noticed a new mark on my body now that is also concerning. This mark appeared like an itchy crusty spot over the summer. It was ony my lower back. It went away and i never thought to look at the area. However, it left a funny looking, i guess what you would call, a mole? It's not orund like a mole but it is long, maybe close to an inch and its got a funny shape to it.

    Just got out of appointment.

    The Dr. Took the growth on my head behind my ear off and sent it on for a biopsy. The scar looking Mark on my left breast that appeared after a tanning booth session, I was told that we need to keep an eye on it as it may be a cyst. They wouldn't do anything else for me as I don't have health insurance And they didn't want to give me a big bill. Should I be concerned about the one they took off for biopsy? They seemed concerned.
