It appears to look very dark, darker than it was before. I was worried but I assume that it's just the top layer that was burned but that layer will soon come off. Currently I'm keeping it moist with a bandaid over it, is what i'm thinking correct?
It wasn't on my nose 4 years ago and it keeps growing and getting darker. Is laser an option, or minor surgery? Thanks for your help. It's right on the tip of my nose, which I happen to like a lot (the nose not the mole) and I worry that a scar there would be worse than a dark mole. Thoughts?
I have a small mole on my arm that one day became slightly raised, i dont know if i caused it to do that, and as squeezed it clear liquid came out, i then picked it off and it heald into normal skin, before coming back the same size but darker. its pretty small and i know only a dermatologist can really tell me but can you help me and just tell me if this is always a serious thing.
2 weeks ago I had a shave excision done to remove a mole on my nose. After the scab fell off, the scar turned from red to pink to now a darker brown. I haven't been outside for more than 5 minutes at a time and when I do I always put sun screen on. Is this darkening a part of the normal healing process that will fade with time or is it a sign that it is coming back? If so is there anything I can do to get rid of it i.e. glycolic acid peels/copper peptide or skin lightening creams?
I found a mole on my back, a few months ago. It seemed like an ordinary mole at first. However, it has started to darken, and in some places even turning black. Part of it looks dark brown, whilst the rest remains light brown and slightly inflamed.
Hi there, I have a 5 scars from mole excision on my back. They are about 1.5-2.5cm long and 0.2-0.5 wide. It's 1 month post operation and seems that they are hypertrophic. They are reddish, but not too much raised, just a little bit. However, I'm interested if it is normal that they get a little bit swollen/raised and darker (like purple color) after intense gym workout (especially when working back exercises) or it is normal? Thanks
mole developed R wrist Oct 2011, no growth but darkened while pregnant I dermatologist saw Nov 2013 and another in March 2014, said it looked fine under dermatoscope. My problem is I squeezed and picked it off leaving a scar. Now I am scared that it was a melanoma and it is deep under scar tissue. No dark pigment in the scar just pink. Can a melanoma be scratched, rubbed,picked off. wouldn't it have grown or changed significantly in 2 plus years? I'm so worried. I am 34 and a mom of 2 precious babies.
I have a small, circular, flat, light brown mole on my upper lip. I got a cold sore directly on that spot. After it healed, my mole appeared darker (no other changes). Can this change in color be a result of the cold sore? I've had 4 IPL sessions for upper lip hair removal. The last session was ~4 weeks PRIOR to onset of the cold sore. There were no signs of darkening of the mole after the IPL sessions. It was only after the cold sore healed. What made my mole darker?!?
