When I was a child I had one on my elbow. I scratched it of yes it bled but after 2 weeks it was gone

So if it is smaller than 6mm its not dangerous?

Hi Dr. Ava, I used to have a growing mole underneath my eye lid removed years ago. But as of late, I've noticed the position of where the mole used to be is developing a pigment. Is it possible for my mole to come back after it has been removed? Also, this time it is on my water line. Do you suggest getting it removed if it does come back? I feel like this area is sensitive and can possibly effect my eye shape

[caroljewell]

any size if sore red should be removed. very small or large

i treated my melanoma by rubbing garlic, then coconut oil, then baking soda. rub it very well with garlic and apply the coconut oil so the baking soda will stick on the oil. do it twice a day, after you take a bath and before sleeping. it will be itchy and a bit stingy, but very tolerable.

Hi again but if you get a mole removed does it hurt?

What about flesh colored bumps/pimples grouped right between the eye and nose? Could these bumps/pimples be cancerous? What are symptoms of melanoma? #NervousNancy

Hiya. I know scratching isn't good. Do you have some tips for anti itch? I have a lot of allergies so ingredients to look for or diy tips are especially helpful. I like your style. It's kinda auntie meets doctor mash up😉. Have a happy safe day in the sun ♡ive

Hello Dr.Ava what happens if you have a mole that sticks out on the skin? My friend has one and it’s like a centimeter of the skin. If you can answer it will help a lot thanks!

hi doctor ava, my question for you is, how ti tell the difference between moles and warts, i had a friend who had stuff on his face and pub area, i knew something was wrong, cuz those areas are the sex areas, anyway he said he thought they were just moles, i told him get checked, and it was hpv, my point is how would some one know the difference? i have another friend who is a Transgender was a man but now a woman, she has hiv, and I noticed (the same kind mole thing that was on my other friend) and it was on her elbow, it looked like it was growing like little limbs i mean stalks or just like hairs but not hair, it was really like skin. they both seem to look the same, i told her check it out, she said she thought it was just moles and now it's in the side of her lip, shes also a stripper and prostitute. so my point is how to tell the difference because i was very fond of my male friend, im just glad i am not promiscuous. i could have easily believed him, and been a next victim. plz help me and others get a better understanding of the difference. thanks
