Customer's Comment: This started out as a round very dark (almost
black) mole right next to my left hip bone just above pubic line. In 2005,
my doctor thought it looked suspicious and decided to attempt to remove it.
I was pregnant at the time so while it was healing it stretched. It came
back as fine but I have had every MD that sees it tell me to get it checked
ASAP. Obviously the first doctor did not get it all out. It has changed in
the last 6 years. It has gotten bigger than when it first started to
reappear after the first attempt at removing it.
Please look this over and let me know what you think.

According to the MoleSense software, the two melanoma images on the
Web that are most similar to this mole in terms of color variations
are:
The mole is atypical: it is asymmetric, the border is irregular, it has
multiple colors, and the size is larger than 6 mm. In addition, according to
your comments the mole is changing. All of these may be symptoms of
melanoma. There is also visual similarity between the mole
and two melanoma images on the Web. The mole should be examined by a
physician ASAP.
Here are some facts about melanoma:
People with more than 100 moles have a greater risk of developing
melanoma.
Those who have dysplastic nevi (atypical moles) face at least 7
times higher risk for developing melanoma.
Most melanomas are black or brown, but they can be in a variety of
colors, including blue, white, and skin-color.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential; after the cancer has
spread to other sites in the body, the prognosis may not be favorable.

Customer's Comment: I took a photo of a mole on my leg. I think it
has been there for years, but I don't know if it has grown recently. I am 22
years old.
length of the mole: 9mm
width: 4mm
It is positioned vertically on my right leg. Could you please check it for
me with your MoleSense Program?
Thank you

Due to the presence of hair the MoleSense software cannot process the
image. While the MoleSense software can
remove
hair
from images, if the hair color is similar to that of the skin or
the mole, the software cannot remove it.
However, by visually examining the mole image, the following melanoma
image on the Web may be similar to this mole:

Customer's Comment: Hello there, my wife has
a mole that she is concerned about. If you could analyze it against your
database that would be very much appreciated. It is 7mm wide. The mole is
itching.
Many thanks

Customer's Comment: Thank you for taking the
time to review the enclosed image taken today of a new mole I discovered on
my back approximately three weeks ago. I noticed it when I was showering
because it has a raised surface that is not smooth. It is roughly 1cm in
diameter. I am a male, 52 years of age with fair skin and freckles. I do
recall sun burns on my back in my youth. My father had a skin cancer removed
from the top of his head, but I am not sure what kind it was. I am a recent
prostate cancer survivor, so this has made me nervous.
Thanks again

Customer's Comment: Thank you in advance for
analyzing the attached pic. The mole is on my foot. I have had it for years
but has become darker from a year(ish) ago. I am getting a little nervous as
moles are popping up everywhere. I am age 44 but did the tanning beds for
many years from age 18 to 38. As a child, I experienced over-exposure to the
sun. I have experienced blisters and sun stroke from too much sun. I am blue
eyed with light skin & hair and I live in Vermont.
The education just wasn't out there...
The mole is 4 mm by 4 mm near toes.
In any event, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
Customer's Comment After Analysis: Thank you so much for your
guidance! A dermatologist has advised a shave biopsy is necessary.

The mole has *some* similarity to the following skin
cancer images on the Web, and should therefore be examined by a physician.

around 4-5mm, it's on my hip. I'm not sure how long I've had it... at least
several years.
Customer's Comment After Analysis: Thank you for the feedback. The
mole was removed on Thursday and am awaiting the results.

"skin cancer" or "melanoma." Opticom Data Research is NOT responsible for
the diagnosis of the Web moles (i.e. whether specific skin moles are indeed
