I think I might have skin cancer? : Melanoma and Skin Cancer

A freckle is flat on your skin and a mole raises above the skin and you can kinda move it around in a way (not to sound gross if it were lol).
If its gotten darker than it should be then you have a problem. Or if it was a freckle and turned into a mole.
I was afraid about one of my freckles that turned a bit into a mole, but I picked at it and for some reason the darker spots came off and i don't know anything about it so I'm kinda worried at the moment. I haven't gotten to seek medical help yet though.
Plus if your worried about moles you can have them removed, especially because they can turn into cancer.

If you were old enough to not be living at home I might worry - *most* cancers occur in people over 30....especially skin cancers, which are usually due to a life time of DNA mutations due to sun exposure...

These are photo's of what skin cancers tend to look like...

Wear sunscreen, and a hat.
Your skin will thank you down the road.
