Okay, on my shin I have a lump just under the skin, it's been there for maybe a year or so that I remember, and I don't remember having it before. The best way I can describe it is like a mosquito bite, and it get's puffy after a bite, but this is under the skin.

Also I seem to have a mole that just seemed to appear out of nowhere, and it's not flat like the other ones, this one protrudes out more.

I'm just curious to see if anyone thinks these could be anything. I really don't have the money to just go see a doctor about nothing. But, The last thing I'd wanna do is let cancer get the best of me at such a young age.

Thank you for this forum.

Your skin lesion could be something very simple, but honestly you need to be seen if you have a changing mole or something that is unusual. The chances of cancer are lower for younger people, but that does not mean that young people don't get cancer.

best regards
