I have a good pic of it to send if someone has knowledge of skin cancer.
Its on my thigh and looks like a pink raspberry. I think it was a mole originally. Its oval shaped about 5/8" X 1/2." It also sorta looks like a cluster of tiny blisters. |

| If you have any doubts, go and see your doctor and ask for a referral to a skin specialist. There are many kinds of skin disorders. |

Where are you?
In this country the General Practitioner will refer the patient to specialists. |

I think that is the procedure here too but specialists are probably too far and I think its ridiculius to have doctors who only refer. They just need to cut it off, Its ugly anyway. If it costs more than a hundred bucks total I'll use lidocaine and cut it off myself.
In the meantime, maybe there is someone here who has seen something similar. |

If they just "cut it off" and do nothing else, and it is malignant, you are in trouble. Better to see someone who really knows about skin disease and disorders.
Diagnosis by picture on the internet is not the most accurate way to diagnose. |

alchemy,
As a Skin Beauty Therapist i see alot of skin Cancers , conditions and disease. It is not something you can know by a picture. I strongly agree with Vee Smith- Have it looked at, By a GP, or a specialist. It must be looked at soon.
Doing something yourself, is not only stupid but very dangerous. Like Vee Smith said, If it is malignant, then you'd be in alot of trouble. If you do something wrong, you could cause alot of injury, infection and not to say loose a piece that could be tested.
Please see a Doctor when you can.
Let us know how you go.
