I'm 25 years old fairly paled skin and extremely pale legs...I have lots of moles on my back and neck that seem normal . I have an apointment in 3 weeks with a dermatologist about a few moles on my leg that look suspicious to me. I am so anxious to get the apointment over with, i've been thinking about it every day and I really can't stand to wait so long. I snapped a few pictures in macro mode for me to get an idea of the moles , the pics really scare me. I'd like some opinions about the pictures, I know that only a Dr. can diagnose and confirm this but in the meanwhile what do you guys make of these moles??


This mole is around 6mm, the other around 4mm...

It is so easy to become neurotic about this kind of thing. You have an appointment and, as you say, photographs on the internet are not the best means of diagnosis. Try to keep calm and don't panic. Let us know what happens at your appointment.
