My advice is not to look at pictures online, it will only freak you out more - go to the doctor and get it removed and they will do lab tests on it and then you can see what to do from there. But do it as soon as possible - the sooner, the better!

I agree with Kellye, too! Looking at those pictures will make you 100 times more scared than you are now! I'd say schedule an appointment with your family doctor or dermatologist. I went a few months back to have a couple spots checked for skin cancer. Thankfully, the were not cancerous. The sooner you go, the sooner you can either a) feel better knowing they're not cancerous or b) get the spots taken care of quickly if they are cancerous. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

If you're worried go to the doctor. That's the best advice I can give you. looking at pictures and reading about will only make you parinoid about it.
