What Causes Flesh Colored Almost White Mole In The Armpit?

I noticed a flesh colored almost white mole in my arm pit..... Probably 6 + months ago. Not painful at all. And I am not even sure if it is a mole but I scheduled an appt with my derm in 6 weeks. That was his next availability. I am actually a little nervous since the internet has me freaked out. Any insight would be great. Thx!

Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
Presence of a skin coloured raised lesion in the axillary could simply be a skin tag.
Skin tags are very common in the axillary region and are essentially harmless.
Sunce you have an appointment with your dermatologist in sometime, I would suggest you not to worry and go ahead with your consultation .
If however ,the lesion is very bothering , then you can click a close up picture of the lesion and consult a dermatologist on this forum .
