The ABCDE's are not pretty....

     Hope these 3 images don't gross anyone out but this is how the mole has evolved over the past few months. It's just awful. It honestly used to be always a flat discoloration on my skin, brown edges and lighter skin tone in the middle looking mole. It was easily seen though, not very light.  Looked more like a mole with more of a round shape. Now it's ugly as can be and the dark brownish edges are stretching outwards, not as round any longer. It is worrying me to no end lately.

    If this just appeared out of the blue on my skin when nothing was there before, I wouldn't be as concerned... I would write it off as an infected wart or something, but this was always a mole so it's very scary and I think I have a right to be afraid at this point. Maybe my concern will all be for nothing but it certainly taught me a lot about checking my skin and if there is a next time to not to wait so long to be seen by a specialist.

All the ABCDE's of what to look for in a mole that possibly could be Melanoma are there....

I hope it turns out to be just a Melanoma look-a-like :(
