Dr Jessen’s guide explains all you need to know about what to look out for, as well as providing advice on how to protect your skin and moles.

I had 2 small red pimples practically touching eachother just a little bit above my pubic region, they have grew a little bigger and i can feel a big lump underneath them. does anyone know what this is? pleasee.!
i had a spot, and after it burst, it left a crater which only ever half heals. the little crater fills with flakey peely skin and usually gets scratched off again in the shower. i am forever seeing this crater on my back which doesnt ever heal. anyone else had this or know what it might be?? its only the size of a wall tack, the crater even smaller.

I have got a dark round mole and i was thinking to get rid of it but my beautician wants it checked by cancer center so where can I go to get it checked?? Thank you
