moles
 

ok, so i jus noticed today that a teeny tiny mole has appeared on my wrist, and its slighlty raised, feels likea tiny spot i spose but its brown. im pretty def sure it wasnt there the other day. shud i be worried, im quite a moley person anway. i dont really want to go and see a dr or anybody unless i really have to because ts near a couple of old scars and i dont really want to be answering any questions about that. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

As it's just appeared it would be best to see a doctor as these can (but not always) be early signs of skin problems such as Cancer and it is best to get that seen as early as you can. As you are not going in because of self harm and the scars are old then the doctors are unlikely to say much about it, if they do it is only likely to ask if yo need help. It's really a good idea to get it seen.

I would get it checked out. New moles can grow and it might be nothing. If its new its easy and cheap to remove no matter what the situation. I went through it all last year.

I'm super fair. I see my primary care physician a few times a year for asthma and point out any unusual moles to her. Even though they've been nothing, she and the other docs say that it is fine to show them, better safe than sorry.
Since this one is new, better to have it looked at.

If you have a lot of moles you should mention it do your doctor as some forms of skin cancer manifest as moles. If your doctor has any concerns about your moles they can take a sample and send it off to get it tested. They can test any suspicious mole, not just the one on your wrist.
