im a moroccan 25 old male, 2 years ago i started noticing new atypical moles in my arms face back and penis , all my life i had only 2 moles in my gorin , but at 23 years old i started seeing these moles apearing for no reason, i stupidly burend 2 moles on my right and left arm and they didnt comback , after a while , one that apearde in my right arme freaked me out it had atypical border and had 6 mm in size 1.5 years ago , i tryed to burned it also , after a while it started to comback in the border of the burn, i stupidly ignored it untile now , so i went to a local dermatologist with my mother, he toled me not to freak out , he didnt brought biopsy to te subject , so i asked him should i have a biopsy , he responded that he can remouve it and send it to a pathologist but i shoud pay extra , with no assurance (im an unemployed) i coudnt pay and now im trying to get the money for it, my parents think im just creazy because the dermatologist sayed nothing to worry , but its me who saw the change from a tiny mole to 1 cm atypical mole , our hospital care system is catastrofic like all third world countrys , i dont know even what to expect if find out i have advanced melanoma witch is very likly , i actuly think i have multuple melanoma as one mole in my penis is geting biger , im living in fear and depression , not knowing what to do , i also have swollen lymph glands in my groain and i think i have enlarged liver
i just want to ask if 2 years old melanomas can be treated or not and what you think about my situation

Hello Mohamed, im sorry your in a scary situation with your skin abnormalities, untill your doctor CONFIRMS Melanoma or anyother skin conditions, i wouldnt stress to hard on it, BUT! Dont waste any time! Like you said, Morocco’ s Healthcare system does seem dismal but has Public Care called La CNOPS and a lower income insurance plan called (RAMED) that you qualify for being unemployed. Get your Biopsies done bro (test of the moles) that will explain alot….-

CNOPS is an income insurance spesific for peaple who are employed by the state i am unemployed
To get Ramed i will need a month of paper work and extra 3 month to finaly have the insurance and if it is realy melanoma it will be late
I am still trying to get the money for the biopsy, i have an appoitement monday with a GP to see his oppinion , the mole on my arm is realy scary having multiple colors from dark to light brown on the edge and it seems spreading slowly to the the surrounding tissue , i cant sleep any more all my taughts are in darkness , the only place i talk about this is here

the mole on my right arm is defently spreading i feel healthy apart from swollen lymph glands in the groain, witch is wired but when i look at it i see that the mole has spread to the surrounding tisue , and i havent even done a biopsy , i thing the dermatologist knew it is bad thing bad he just wanted the extra pay to remouve it , i think im on the wrong side of the world if a want to survive melanoma , i need support but i cant get in my country-

Hi Mohamed, your situation is both heartbreaking and frightening, that you have to live with the unknowing due to the state of your medical system. I hope that you can find some peace until you find a solution. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.
laurie
