      That doesn’t sound like anything a cancerous mole would do, nor even a normal one. The best thing to do is to just check in with your doctor.

      From what I’ve seen melanoma could change dramatically after years and would totally be noticable. But I completely understand your worry, and it’s a good thing to check with the dermatologist for peace of mind. Also, I’ve never heard of a melanoma being smaller then 1mm but I have heard that melanoma moles smaller then 2mm are nearly 100% curable. But still, I highly doubt that it is. But other then that. Sometimes being too worrying about cancer is worse then cancer itself.

        Also I found this “Malignant tumors are overgrowths of abnormal cells (cancer) that divide without control and order. They do not stop growing, even when they come into contact with nearby cells. As malignant tumors grow, they squeeze surrounding healthy tissue and prevent their normal function.”

      Well it’s only very slightly raised, like, you could slightly feel it when you’d rub a finger on the skin and across the mole. But it’s been like that for about 2 years now.

      False alarm. I gived it one last pinch and pus came out. A nodular melanoma would be firm and have no pus.
