What Does A Mole On Skin Indicate?

basically i am really bad at getting paranoid think I have every disease under the sun, I use to have hair that grew really long past my ears, because of my old age (aka 21) it my hair doesn t grow as long as it use to or it takes a very long time for it to get to that, stage.. basically I knew about this more for awhile, thought nothing of it, so ignored it, basically ever since my hair doesn t go as long, I have noticed it more and more, and its scary, it s on the side of my head and it s not very easy to monitor.. so I always think it changes because of this, I have tried using phones, ipads and record videos/pictures, but still it worries me, I got a pencil with an eraser and put it on the mole to get a rough size.. it s not as big as a pencil eraser.. and underneath it I noticed this new little mole appear ( not sure if it was their before) or new.. not 100% sure on that, I did go to the doctors before and they simply said just watch it, and since I CANNOT view it easy its not an easy thing to do, I was thinking just going to the doctors in the morning, and even if they say it s normal, I will demand it to be tested... I don t think the doctors can/will remove it, but at the very least I wanted it tested, just for a peace of mind, it will most likely be nothing.. but after reading google alot it worries me, I have never been sun brunt... (I don t really go out that much) so not to much sun, and I don t know of anyone who has ever had skin cancer in our family.. I have brown eyes and dark hair, what makes me less at risk of developing skin cancer., I would upload a picture, but I know people here aren t doctors

Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having allergic dermatitis. There may be some triggers like food stuffs,inhalants or contactants. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply mild steroid cream on the affected lesions. Take tab Cetirizine 10 mg daily till relief of itching.
Try to find out the triggers.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
