So... A couple of years ago, I noticed a mole on my right breast that I never noticed before. It itched a lot and oozed a pinkish clearish liquid and the mole itself kinda changed colors. I never got around to making an appoint ment to getting it checked out. It was like that for a few months or so, and it still itches every now and then. I also have some other weird ones, but none itch like that or have the ooze. When I was in Iowa visiting family, I found out that my great uncle, my grandmother, and my uncle all have a history of having cancerous moles (my uncle recently had a spot about an inch deep removed from his back).
Cut to now, yesterday a mole I don't believe I've ever seen before showed up. It's quite small, but it is raised from my skin, is kind of pinkish around it, it's itchy, and it has that same kind of pinkish ooze coming from it.
This is what I found on the second website I went to:
"Advanced melanoma moles have swellings, oozing, itching or bleeding."
...
As you can guess, I'm a bit upset.
I finally made an appointment to get that shit checked out. It's going to be a long two weeks.
