SOMETHING IS WRONG!! IS THIS NORMAL?!?!?!?!


Question: SOMETHING IS WRONG!! IS THIS NORMAL?!?!?!?
I am 17 years old and for the longest time I have had a mole on my face(smaller then an eraser of a pencil). Well it started burning and bleeding and turned black. Now its not black anymore but it is dark brown and red all around that area. It hurts really bad even the slightest touch. I am going to the doctors, will they just want to remove it? Also I have Gateway Insurance, would that cover a mole removal if it is causing me pain? Do you think they will just remove it? Please no jokes! thanks :)

Answers:

This is really bad, I've heard that removing moles could cause cancer, i have a mole on my arm and I don't touch it or anything, you should go to the doctor asap! it's not a good sign!



Have you been in the sun a lot lately? A mole is skin that simply has dark pigmentation, and it can get sun burnt which will cause peeling and redness and the mole will look lighter since a layer of skin has peeled off.

Since moles are skin they also can get acne below them or any other type of infection which could result in redness, but I am not sure why the mole would lighten.

Your doctor will probably ask to have it removed so they can biopsy it and make sure it is not cancerous. Since your doctor will order you to have it removed for medical reasons your insurance should cover it. If you went in on your own and asked to have it removed then your insurance wouldn't, but since your doctor is asking you to have it done they will pay.



I didn't find any clear info on the web about this. Try not to worry first of all. They may do a biopsy of
the mole; or they may remove it. It's hard to say. I have a similar mole on my face, but never has give me any problems.
I do know that sometimes moles can get infected or injured, bleed, and change colors. I know this is scary for you you. But try not to worry if possible. You could make yourself sick to your stomach and the mole will be fine taken off or not. I will place you on my church prayer list. You can click on my pic and add me to send me messages (don't worry, there is no private info on me and I only get messages nothing more. If you get worse and let me know I can have them redouble their prayers for you. and stop them, when you are better. They will pray that if surgery is needed that all will go smooth and well for you. That should help you be less stressed.
As for Gateway Insurance? Never heard of it...sorry I really can't tell you much there at all. Maybe your in another country or state from me. Either way God knows you and that's good enough for me.
