    Hello,

    I thought I would give this a try. My finance is who I am writing about, not myseld. He is 22 years old and has moles on his body his entire life. He has had them checked around 6 years ago. Well, recently he has been having night sweats every now and then and he also has a couple "holes" on the sole of his foot. I read online that these could be linked to melanoma.. and since he has so many moles that does not surprise me. He also has developed two moles on his scalp that have caused grey hair to form.. I read that those are nothing to worry about but as his fiance and him only being 22 I am FRIGHTENED. I guess what I am on here asking is… because he had these "spots" on his foot and occasional night sweats is he in danger of having melanoma??? We go to doctor in September but so scared to wait that long.

      I am not a physician, but, like you, I would be concerned.  Can you make an appointment with another doctor or at a clinic?  September seems like a long time to wait for something that my be urgent.
