Could this be Vitiligo?
58 Yo | F | been on statins | Non-smoker | 121 lbs
My mother has this white patch on her upper left shoulder for almost 6 months. It started off big, but has shrunk in size in the last month.
We are going in for a derma appointment this week.
Just preparing for the worst, could this be Vitiligo?

Appearance of new mole
My nephew(10 years old) has developed 3 moles. One big one on the right arm(photo is attached) and the other two small ones in the left arm. They are of the same colour and appeared this week only. Two of them are heart-shaped.It wasn't there before and this sudden appearance of 3 moles together around the same time, worries me. Is there anything concerning about this? He plays a lot in the sun.

Itching and rough skin on face
I am facing itching and rough skin along with slight acne on my face. Earlier, I used to apply betnovate cream and it helped in healing it in 2-3 days continuous usage . But later I got to know that betnovate causes skin thinning, so I discontinued it's usage. I want to know cream/ ointment can I apply on face to heal acne which is safe to use and also helps in healing itching.

Need suggestion on mole getting tested
A few years ago I developed a mole on my back,which I didn't pay much heed to,it wasn't growing or painful and my mother having a similar mole at the same place made me think it can be genetic but today I discovered another similar mole not far from the previous one and what It seems like another one starting to develop in my upper arm near to the previous one again.it seemed a little suspicious so I looked up reason of mole growth and it said that they can be early signs of melanoma.i don't want to get stressed and start freaking out based on these assumptions so I wanted an opinion on whether they look benign or should I get them tested and consulted by a dermat.i am attaching photos of the moles with this post.please kindly help and suggest me the right thing to do.i would be extremely grateful if I can be guided to consult further or to relax regarding this issue.

Confusion on moles
So few years ago,I developed a mole on my back and did not pay much heed to it because it didn't have any pain or it was not growing.basically i did not realise when it got there and since my mother has a mole in almost the same area of her back,I thought may it's genetic but cut to 4-5 years down the line,I just suddenly was checking and saw that not so far away from my previous mole a new mole has grown and another bump is there on my upper arm which seems to be something that will soon be developing into a mole but it's not dark yet.and all three of them are not very far from each other. I wanted to check on the Internet as to a reason for such growth and it said that it might be early signs of Melanoma.now I am scared and freaking out.I wanted to suggestion as to whether from the attached pictures of the moles that's there on the post, should I further get it checked from a dermat or they look like simple moles.& if it's simple mole,are there any way to stop their growth ?

Lump on thigh
My mother has a lump on her one thigh which she says has been there since approx 20 yrs.She said that at that time people said it is due to injection shots during pregnancy. Earlier there was no pain or anything there even on touching and pressing but now she feels pain whenever it gets pressed or brushed against something and it has also turned black. That lump has a small bump in the middle as well. What could be the causes of this because we all are sacred?
