Question: I think I have skin cancer, and I'm only 13! What is it!?
Well, since I was as young as I can remember, like two years old, I've had this extremely noticeable, dark brown, round mole/freckle on my stomach [over my ribcage]!. It's hideous! and it's like a big, thick freckle!. Mum says that if it was skin cancer, it would be itchy and irritating and the area would be extremely raised!. But it's not, and only ONCE it's been itchy!. Is it cancer!? Am i panicking a bit too much!? Or is it perfectly fine, just a freckle!? aarggh worrying!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
