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?
So for few years now my skin near my urinary area,my vagina and inner thighs,It's kind of getting irritated. It gets dry,flaky,looks like a huge patch and darker in colour.it gets obviously sweaty&itchy. the skin over there has now gotten pretty bumpy&way darker with sort of strawberry skin also and I feel insecure about it. No matter how much I clean the area, how many number of times but still it gets irritated.I have even stop using sanitary napkins&started using menstrual cup for that same reason and still it doesn't go away.am embarrassed of the itch too&tried candid cream&powder too to fix it but it darker and I feel insecure about it and I wanted to know what needs to be done in order to treat this and for my skin colour to turn similar to my skin colour in my other area of the body. So I wanted to know the line of treatment for it.
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 ?
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.
