  • Valerie knew she had a mole on her neck. What she didn't notice, however, was that the mole was getting bigger. Valerie went to her pediatrician who then recommended she visit a dermatologist. The dermatologist removed the mole and sent it off to be tested. When the results came back, Valerie and her mother were shocked: it was malignant melanoma. In other words, skin cancer. Valerie came to Nationwide Children's and went into surgery shortly thereafter. After surgery, the team of oncologists and surgeons were happy to report that Valerie was cancer free.

    I have around 40 moles on my body. Some have discolouring, are darker and more than one colour and some are bumpy. I'm positive I have skin cancer and I'm planning on telling my mom today so she can get me a visit at the doctor.

My 15 year old cousin and i had the same mole we called it our twin moles. well she went to a dr. and he said to get that tested, and it was cancer, and i got tested and i had cancer. but mine was worse cause it had spread, and it spread in to my blood stream. i was diagnosed 2 weeks late with i was diagnosed 2 weeks later with lukemia

    I’m 18 and I have two moles that i’m concerned about. One on my shoulder and one below the armpit area. These two moles have been around since a very young age but they never increased in size and are fairly small. However recently i remembered hearing somewhere that moles can be cancerous.
    What concerns me is that I once had a strange experience with the one under my arm. I was able to scratch it off from how soft it was but it began to itch and grew back to its same small size. Not to say regrowth means it’s cancerous but it i don’t think it’s ready to be dismissed yet. Also the one on my shoulder has a poorly defined border and a few different shades of brown which brings me here doing research on melanoma and learning about these different skin cancers. It hasn’t increased in size but knowing i could be catching it at an early stage, I don’t want to take any risks or push my luck. I plan on expressing my concerns with my mother again so we could get it checked out once she gets back from recovery at the hospital which will be in a few days from now (she had surgery for something else)
    I will update this after i get tested
