i have 2 moles or whatever they are called, that i find suspecious. The first one is not very big. it is on the lower part of my back and it is kind of hard - sticking out of my skin, and its white in the middle and brown around.

the other one is on my leg, it is bigger. It is irregular shaped, and it also has this kind of bump feelsing when you run your fingers over it. ill try to draw it with dots :

abc2,
The only one who can really answer this is a doctor. Have you every been severely sunburned in these areas? Do you have a number of irregularly shaped moles? Is there a family history of a lot of moles and/or melanoma? Do any of your moles itch or bleed? Has there been any obvious change in the moles?
