Hi, I recently took a cancer course in college and it brought to mind about my mole on my chest. It is quite large and almost puffy. I had a dermatologist look at it years ago but nothing since. My question is: I live in San Diego and am looking for a reputable Dermatologist. Im also going to have this mole removed. I've also developed a little bump down the centerof my back. At first it looked like a pimple but it wont pop and doesnt go away. Any info would be great, thanks.

Well I also forgot to mention that I currently dont have health insurance but I think my work will offer it to me since it just recenty got dropped because I am a full time student and couldnt work enought hours. I wanted the opinion of whether I should reapply right now for it so if its something serious I'll be covered. What do you guys think?

Andre79, if you have had the mole for a long time and it has not changed, it most likely is just that... a mole. But you should have it checked again just to be sure. Good luck.
