What does a mole with flat and raised middle indicate?
Answered by
Detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
The mole is a benign tumor. Most of moles wont ever turn into melanoma malignum. However some can become malignant (the risk of it is only few percents). That is why every person should observe moles and have them checked by a dermatologist once a year.
Only suspicious moles should be removed and tested by a histopathologist. Other, not suspicious should not be removed and observed.
The best way to determine if the mole is suspicious or not, is to check it under dermatoscope. Its a kind of magnifying tool which allows dermatologist to choose suspicious moles.
That is why I suggest you to visit dermatologist and have it checked. Otherwise it is hard to tell basing only on the attached photo.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards

MD Hi, I'm 41, have had 2 heart attacks and 3 strokes, I have emboli on my lungs, heart, liver and spleen I also have a benign tumor on my thyroid. Three years ago my liver shut down for over two weeks and I was diagnosed with hepatitis b and c. For the last 5 or 6 days I have been sweating profusely, had a headache on my right front side, chest pains, diarrheal incontinence, and severe hiccups off and on (more on than off). I'm very unclear how these all relate to one another or if they do, but they all came on at the same time and have been very "stable" and together in their occurrences. What do you recommend? I am disabled (and receive a small monthly disability check), but have no health insurance at the moment, so I'm financially unable to just run out to a doctor or hospital unless I feel my life is seriously in danger. The longer these symptoms last the more anxious and panicked I feel and so I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thank you kindly in advance.
MD I am a 37 year old female, who has Hashimotos. My doctor "forgot" to tell me that the results from my last blood test (2 months ago) left me at a TSH of 27. The office called and said they would call in a script for my Armour to be raised from 30mg to now, 90mg. I still feel way off, after being on it for about ten days. I have a very hard time moving, my body is sore, super light headed all of the time, cannot focus, the tension (stress of course) in my neck is terrible. My main concern is that my resting heart rate has been around 105 for the last few days. Bp around 139 over 79. It feels like I am on a roller coaster ride with the head rush, gut twist, and now, heart fluttering. Stick out the Armour? (seems like ten days isn't really long enough to do anything) Should I go back to Levothyroxine or Levothyroid? I also take 37.5mg of Phentermine, Mangesium oxide 400mg, 75-50mg Triamterene-HCTZ. This is all a little over a year old/new to me. I am trying to get a grip, here, because I work too much, and have always typically been "high strung", if you will. So, I thought I was adjusting well. Seeing how it only took about 9 months for anyone to be able to tell me what is wrong. I flip flopped between Neurologists who told me (in the language I understand), that after several tests, looks like there are holes in my brain and I may have early onset Parkinsons or Alzheimers. Then, after figuring out I have Hashimotos, the last of the Endocrinologists said not to worry, I'm sure it's all thyroid related. I feel like a yo-yo. I'm supposed to wait it out, until "we" can figure out the perfect dose for me. This entails waiting every 3 to 6 months..... and what? Yes, I know, check my levels. But in the meantime, I have to figure out if I feel lousy because of the thyroid, or am I having a "stress" day? My motivation, body aches, hot flashes, oh yeah... thank God I have a lot of hair, because it's falling out like nobody's business. On the bright side, while my doctor forgot to check my thyroid levels two months ago, I am, Cancer free. That is a "good" positive! I have a goiter, and benign tumors that, apparently are still growing, but doc doesn't want to just take it all out. He wants to wait for that to be the last resort. I'm confused. I was just told I DON'T have Cancer, isn't that pushing it on the "last resort note"? I never write on forums, usually just peruse, because I am really trying to understand this whole "no real answers" disease! Clearly, I am a control freak. I'm okay with that. Not being able to control any of this, with now, the uneased feeling of nobody else getting a handle on it. Somewhere in here there's a question. Anyone want to tell me what to ask, who to ask , where to find a doctor that won't forget I'm a person, not a file, and try to remember that I am relying on the "doc" for pertinent info?
