      Thank you for your thoughts, I will definitely ensure my doctor looks under my bra from now on and will ask her to look at these new growths.  I'm not thinking they look like typical melanoma either, and wonder if it could be basal cell skin cancer.

      All the best to you.

      Thank you so much for your reply Patina, and for sharing your experience with me.  Sometimes parents can be so frustrating when they won't deal with issues they have, but are super vigilent about the health of their children.  My mother is huge on getting anything checked out where I am concerned, yet she has a hip that should have been replaced a decade ago, near blindness that she won't see anyone about (tries to pretend she can see when she can't), depression and possibly other symptoms that we don't see.  She is very strong willed and stubborn!

      I like your suggestions and will also use my Dad.  Dad keeps saying the mark is just a blackhead, but I just know it isn't.  My mother is very good at shutting my Dad down if he raises her health issues, but this is important.   If my mother wants to avoid facing a hip replacement and blindness, then I suppose that is her choice, but I don't want her ignoring melamona, not when she faced it head on when she was younger and stronger, and won. 

      Thanks again for your response, it is very helpful to me.
