Skin cancer???!

Skin cancer???

i'm only 15, but Ive had this small thing on my right shoulder for a reeeeaaaally long time. Its not red, or blue or anything; It's the same color as my skin. Its smaller than the head of a pencil eraser, perfectly round, and its smooth. I've never worried about it seriously, until about a week ago, when I read an article in a magizine about skin cancer. Even then I wouldn't have worried about it, becuase It didn't really match any of the symptoms, exsept one. It did beed once about 2 1/2 yers ago. And it said bleeding was a big sign. It's not like it itches, or bleeds all the time or anything, nor does it ever hurt. And Im pretty sure I have no history of skin cancer in my family. one of my uncles died from cancer, but it wasn't skin. I don't know, what do you think? And please try and say something other than," go have it checked out". Because I currently have no insurence. Thanks :]

I am glad I can be of some help. I am 15 as well. Since you are only a minor, no hospital can deny you of proper medical care/treatment. Have your parent, or whomever is taking care of you, bring you to the emergency room. There, you can apply for charity care, or whatever it is called, and have it checked out. I have had a mole before, and the doctor checked it for cancer, and burned it (removed it). It turned out to be cancer. What you have might not seem to be much of a problem now, but wait any longer and it might turn into something nasty. God Bless and hope everything works out.
