Birthmark - could it be cancer?
I am a person with many marking, beauty marks, moles (not the same to me lol), freckles, and birthmarks. and as much as my mom would always concentrate on one of my beauty marks, My birthmark has never poised my to pay any mind to it until about 3 years ago. (I am 22 now)
When I was born, I had an albino white tiny circle on my leg. My grandmother thought my mom had burnt me with her cigarette. But it never went away and for the most part of my life, remained albino white.
however about 3 years ago it started changing color. It started becoming darker, eventually became the same color as my skin, and now is becoming considerably darker than my natural skin color. The texture is just a little bit more rough than my skin. (kinda looks like the chestnut on a horse)
I was just wondering if this is maybe just my birthmark changing colors, or if it could be something more serious (ex: Skin cancer) I have another birth mark that kinda fadded and is a little pink, but not as drastic a change as this albino-white to darker-than-my-skin-color
Has this happened to anyone before?
How serious do you think this really is?
my lack of sleep is showing in both of my questions. I meant the shape of the mark looks like the chestnut of the horse. Texture does not in anyway lol. >.> I would definitely go to the hospital if it was textured like a horse's chestnut lol

because the medical qualifications of this types of marks is admirable,meaning that it's not a cancer cell!

I would go see a dermatologist to find out for sure. Generally birthmarks, moles or freckles that change shape or color is something that shouldn't be ignored. My be nothing, but I would rather know that for sure after a doctor told me that guess.
