    Hi all, I am a male, 28yrs old. I discovered a mole (yet to diagnose) within a light brown lesion on my upper back body recently. I then immediately went to research about skin cancer. On a close look, the dark brown mole is 1 to 2mm, U shape in size. The complete measurement is about 3.5 to 4 mm together with the light brown lesion. With regard to that, I had yet to see any evolution for the month.

    I already made an appt with the skin dermatologist in two weeks time however I am still anxious. So far, no bleeding or itching however I m exposed to sunlight most of the time.

    Can malenoma not grow? Kindly advise.

      Melanoma presents itself differently for everyone. It will change over time, faster for some than others. If this is a brand new thing on your body, then that is something that has "grown" or "changed" since it was not there before. It is good that you have an appointment with a derm to get it checked out. Not all young people like us (I'm 29) are aware enough to get new or changing things looked at. 

      My advice to you is to stay off this forum and all other parts of the internet that talk about any kind of skin cancer. There is no need to worry and stress yourself out before you have any answers. It is very possible that it is nothing. 

      Best of luck,
