I have a dark mole on my upper arm that feels 'solid' and hurts when pressed down.
My other dark moles do not feel like they have a defined shape under the skin and do not register any feeling when pressed. It should be noted that my mother died of choroidal melanoma at the age of 65. I am, at present, 55.

I feel confused about this mole, tried a Home treatment kit. The mole is dark, has become dry flat in shape, but it is noticeable when I touch it. It has a uncomfortable feeling to it. Please help

Hello Anonymous,
The mole needs to be looked at by a physician.

Thank you Susan. I appreciate your very thorough and thoughtful reply. I do not tend to dwell on them and poke at them (ha) I actually discovered them during a massage.

Also, thank you for you kind words on my mother's passing. It was an extremely trying time period and a particularly painful and fearful passing. It has been 10 years and I still recall it as if it were yesterday. I am, now, an huge advocate for the latest technology in eye exams, Optomap Retinal Imaging.
Kindest regards, Teri

Hi Teri. Hope you are well. I just wanted to check in and see if anything came of this mole. I have the same thing in my arm. I saw my dermatologist and he said it looks fine. Still worries me...
