In the last two weeks a mole on the back of my neck has grown considerably. I've had this mole since I can remember but it was always dark brown and only slightly raised. Now it's crusty in the middle, lightly colored, really raised and looks like it's about to explode if you squeeze it. It doesn't bleed or ooze on its own but if I squeeze it, it juices and there's a bit of watery blood.
About me - I'm 25 and in good shape. I have blue eyes but I'm not fair skinned by any means, although I do have Irish ancestors (many generations back).
I have a doc's appt. scheduled the first week of May but is this something that should wait until then?
Please have a look at the pics below and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi easymoney. I am very sorry about your current health concerns. I deleted the links primarily because of our No Links policy for new members. You have to know that no one can diagnose you over the Internet. Furthermore, almost none of us has sufficient experience to even give you a good opinion and those who do (than hand full of relatively inactive doctors) will not. They will say something like: "It is unclear what those areas are. You need to see your own medical team for a complete examination including possibly a biopsy." So, I will say it for them Wink.

I do not mean to be flippant or to discount your concerns. I just know the limits of this and any other forum. I wish you the best. Keep us posted and let us know what you find out.
