I just read a whole article on skin cancer and they showed what some types of skin cancer may look like. My boyfriend has many moles on his body (over 50) and I am concerned that some may be cancerous.
Some of his moles did look funny to me. He says that he has no health insurance and just brushes me off when I bring the topic up. I even offered to pay for the dr. appointment and he just responded “whatever”

Also, how long would it take for skin cancer to progress till he realizes he feel crappy enough that he needs to see a doctor? He thinks skin cancer is a joke and he is invincible to it. I am even thinking about telling his dad. Even though he’s 26. At least his dad will care.

Just so you guys know I am checking his moles periodically for changes in shape and color.

BubbleGum asked:


I heard that if you get a little bump like…lets say on your arm, and you pick at it until it bleeds a little. Then you ignore it, and it’ll keep coming back in the same place? is that skin cancer?

I started getting several little bumps on my arm and when i pick at them, they keep coming back. My dad is a doctor and he says that I just need more oils. Is this true?

so back to my question: What causes skin cancer and how do you know if you have it?
