Moles changing colors and itching..?!
Question: I've been going tanning for about 3 years now. I don't go constantly, but I do go a couple times a week. In the winter I go much less. About two months ago I noticed a mole on my breast changed a little. The color was kind of purple-ish. Just now I noticed that on my right hip, sort of towards the back.. a mole I had there has gotten much darker. It has raised a little and It also itches a lot too. I'm going to make an appointment to see the doctor asap, but I was just curious.. could this be cancer? I'm very scared.

See a dermatologist as soon as possible.
It might be skin cancer. If it is, in an early stage it's possible to help you getting rid of.
Stop tanning now , should never have started. keep out sun. sur Doctor
It absolutely could be cancer and I would cancel all future tanning appointments - at least until you get the clearance from your doctor. Please do make an appointment to see your doctor because you want to catch skin cancer as early as possible.
