      My friend pointed out the mole on my back and took pictures for me. I don’t know when the black top began. It’s in a very hard to see location. Can anyone tell me if this mole seems normal?  I am broke and uninsured so getting In to see a doctor is tough.  It feels like a regular movable mole.

          I’m not trying to scare you but definitely go see a dermatologist  anything changing color or seems to be different than before needs to be looked at. Better safe than sorry. It may be nothing but you won’t know until you have it checked out!!!!! Kid luck!!!

              This needs to be seen by a dermatologist as soon as you can. File for assistance to get it covered if you must but a doc should get this tested for Melanoma right away.

              To answer your question, no it does not seem normal. Anything with irregular color or shape could potentially be melanoma and should be looked at. Frankly, it doesn’t look that small either. It’s not huge but it’s a decent size mole even knowing your zoomed in. As Kathy stated, good luck and let us know what you find out. This is a really good community and we are there for each other when we need it.
