Are my moles cancerous?!


Question: Are my moles cancerous?
3 of my moles have become pinkish and scaly feeling in the last few months. They have changed size & shape, but only slightly. Are they cancerous? I researched pictures of cancerous moles and they all look so gross and black and mine are not like that. But they have changed quite a bit.

You need to go to the dermatologist. It could be carcinoma. Here you can look and read about them.

Don't accept any answer from an unknown person on the internet.
No one can tell without a biopsy and a look at the cells with a microscope.
You cannot tell with accuracy by appearance alone.
The growth rate is important to note - as you have done.

The rule of moles is that if they are larger (in circumference) of a pencil eraser, you should get them checked out. You should get them checked out if YOU think they are doing harm, definately get them checked out.
