*hyperventilates* Every time I watch these things I self diagnose myself. I had something similar to what @ElainEC described but it went away and left a faint mark...so it's all cool. I hope :s

[MrMazerman]

I have a large skin discolouaration, its darker and scalloped along the edges. Crap

[ofcccaddy2004]

thanks for the WHITE closed caption... really aids in the video

[Kerija777]

А про современные методы лечения меланомы могу рассказать следующее. В Латвии находится Латвийский центр Виротерапии, в котором меланому и другие виды рака лечат при помощи медицинского препарата - RIGVIR. RIGVIR – это эффективное средство профилактики метастазов, особенно при меланоме до удаления первичной опухоли. В своё время дрессировали этот вирус на самый опасный вид рака – меланому. Вирус заходит в меланомную клетку и уничтожает ее.

i just found out i had cancer

[Ebvardh]

@xXiDkglitchersXx Are you getting treatment?

[saypompung]

@xXiDkglitchersXx

Sorry to hear that...

How did your look like?? :(

[jorgesalvadorcont]

i have anetodermis please help me

[1947ziggy]

Yes it seems that I have skin cancer... I noticed a few moles which change their size and colour really quick... shit... I go tomorrow to my doc...

[helen7052]

@getuga22 by "whites" i'm assuming you mean white people and though i should mention that at the most, a tan can only give you UVA protection of factor 3 so all races need to be protected

[Primalxbeast]

It's really fucking retarded that whenever you try to find info on identifying skin cancer, they only show pictures that are blatenly obviously skin cancer, and don't show any examples of milder less obvious skin cancer. It's always pictures that are, if it looks like this, you're fucked, and blind not to have noticed it earlier.

[ElaineEC]

This video leaves out nodular melanoma which is what I had. Not all melanoma looks like a mole. Not all melanoma has irregular borders. Mine looked like a bug bite, it was pearl white, and very round. It just wouldn't go away and it itched terribly. I was very surprised to find out it was melanoma. If you have any weird thing on your skin that does not go away in a reasonable amount of time, see a dermatologist. Don't wait.

[saypompung]

@ElaineEC

Hmmm, I am glad I saw your message. I have a weird looking mole and past month I got weird burnt looking spots with pink on the outside. I went to a Walk in clinic and they said it wasn't anything to worry about. But now i am getting it in another spot...

[ElaineEC]

@saypompung I don't know if the doctor you saw at the walk-in clinic is a dermatologist or not.  But if not, please go see a dermatologist. If they think it necessary they will remove it and biopsy it. If it's serious, you'll have caught it in time. If it's not serious, you'll at least have peace of mind.

[ringhede92]

holy shit.... I have something looking just like that. what shall I do?

[meisteik]

@ringhede92

mate go to the doc dont loose time!!

[ringhede92]

@meisteik It was like two weeks ago, and now it's gone. Apparently it was an infected wound. It was growing by like 3-4mm each day, but after a few days it just started to heal.

[dukejah88]

@ringhede92 - Pray to your god and stay indoors or better yet! there is a cave in the caucasus mountains where you dont have to pay rent. Its free. Our sun doesnt like Tamahu, only aboriginal people.

Htp

[cheetahlikescheese]

i got a strange mole looking thing on my neck and i picked at it so now its red is it or a mole or cancer?

[kelliegray1]

@cheetahlikescheese get it checked out.... have a skin check every year... it will save your life

[94darklord]

holy shit i saw this on my friend head i thought this was a normal sun burn cause i had one i hope this isn't skin cancer

[eyeluvcloe]

So I figure I might as well take my chances and live my life how ever I please no matter how unhealthy some may view it. On the other hand, if you have precious children, a signifigant other and family that loves you. STOP TANNING!

[eyeluvcloe]

I don't have any family or children or a signifigant other that cares and I'm now 46 yrs. old. If I were to die, it wouldn't effect a lot of people. I don't have a death wish hanging over my head; but I know all too well that some die even if they live a perfectly clean living life; practicing all the proper healthy habits. My Mom died @ 39 and never layed in a tanning bed once.

[eyeluvcloe]

I own a tanning bed. I've had it for roughly 5-6 yrs. Before I bought the tanning bed, I would go to the tanning salon 6 mos. out of the year and did that for approx. 20 yrs. So I've been tanning for 25-26 yrs. When you go to the tanning salon, they only allow you to lay for 20-30 mins. Now that I have my own tanning bed, I lay for 40-50 mins. ea. time. I'm extremely dark but probably not healthy.

[antiskouliki1]

@eyeluvcloe stop killing yourself my friend.i was sitting under the syn for about15 years and created3 warts and i make about 70 solariums visits in all my lifeand now i have upwards of 25 i will never have a solarium tann again.sorry for my bad english.greetings from greece

[grarosting]

Some guyz say that if u watch this early u can remove this.Btw thanks for the video very useful

[benbluesing]

if you are young you are in biggest trouble, like me...i have this also and i dont know can i alive this shit with any treatment....

[ulovemomo]

I am only 22 years old and I recently had Melanoma removed on my neck. If anyone in your family has had skin cancer, get any abnormal moles looked at! I didn't take it serious until the doctor explained they litterally grow down through your skin untill they become deadly. Just because your young doesn't mean your safe...

[ssj10goku12]

today was a really hot day, and i was helping my uncle in the sun, and now i found on my back, above my backside, a white little thing, feels like a mole, looks like a mole, but only white =S i was thinking what it could be, better to be safe then sorry right ? but i touched it and if felt ticklish =S by the way, im only 13 =P so i dont know alot about this so dont laugh if im way off =P

[mabeti6]

How much money was it?

[longdickandwhat]

i have a big red spot after i went out for a walk and the next day the red spot show up i went to the skin doc and he say i dont have skin cancer he really do know what i have i use denorex shamppoo and that what eat my skin now iam fuck and it say in back of the label it does cause cancer

[lelle1001]

i had 11mm,

i took it away today, and it really was skincancer.

[Winter077]

Also, if you have a mole that you are uncomfortable with for ANY reason, insist a biopsy. Many cancerous moles get passed off as warts or regular moles. Don't let your doctor bully you or intimidate you. They can and often do make mistakes. Also, insist on getting a "punch biopsy" test. Shaving the mole doesn't show the depth of the mole. Nodular melanomas are sometimes missed because they spread downwards into the skin, where as superficial melanomas spread horizontally on the top of the skin.

[iluvmusic1480]

Yep, you're right.. my mother had two cancerous moles on her face, that they said (a dermatologist) it was nothing.. They were wrong!

[Winter077]

I wish that the medial community would stop telling people that a mole has to be 6mm or more to be potentially cancerous. People have had moles much smaller than that and they turned out to be cancer. Another thing I find missleading is the "ABCDs" of a mole. A mole CAN be symetrical and still be cancerous. They can also be one solid colour. They don't have to have different shades of the same colour.

[AffirmedConclusion]

Malignant cells are errant trophoblasts {healing cells}. The healing process is turned off with cyanide-rich Amygdalin {vitamin B17}: the bitter substance found in may seeds & broad-leaf grasses, bamboo, bitter almonds, etc. Cancer {never cancers} is a chronic metabolic disease that has nothing to do with heredity, environmental factors or toxins. As the Western diet, through processing, eliminates raw seeds, millet, etc., cancer rates escalate. See the film: "A World Without Cancer."

[alexapollo22]

There is this other guy Alex Chiu with his Immortality Rings, he treated lots of cancer cases including skin cancer. I had his Immortality Rings on and it certainly did help alot.

[Hyperactive1979]

I had a melanoma at my back. I went to a skin specialist and she discovered a very bad looking melanoma at my back. Go very quickly to the next clinic for skin diseases. Do not wait too long. If you are waiting for more than eight weeks you will be die quickly. But fortunately the melanoma cells hadn`t foraminated any blood vessels and had come just in time.

CANCER CURE = HEMP OIL

[alagumbo]

Years of fun and sun has taken it's toll.

My Grandmother would always make a fuss when she saw us sunbathe. I would laugh when I was young. I got my dark looks from her. ...Now I know why. It is not just people with fair skin that need to worry.

[YanksJets]

I know Its difficult & unrealistic 2 "stay out of the sun" but use sun block & dont go tanning. I had a skin cancer scare in 2008,thankfully the biospy on the mole was noncanerous but it was a torturous week of waiting and the doc said the mole indicates that im more susceptible to skin cancer than the average person. Now I have to go for full body checkups a few times a year because the doc said i have a few moles that "look funny" and he wants to keep a close eye on. This is no joke people.

[ShadowSly72]

im 13, and i noticed a tiny tiny tiny little freckle appear of my toe and got a little suspicious cus its middle of winter, and i hardly went outside at all. its next to a HUGE dark birth mark i think i've had since birth, but anyway, i look like i hard a dark triangular freckle that appeared like 2 summers or so on my shoulder, im young, and got anxiety so i may just be over worrying, but anyway, they havent spread at all or gotten bigger, just tiny ones appear. if u think im fine, plz reply

[kaylaluv1994]

i have a question does it hurt when u touch it ? cause if it does maybe u shud get it checked out

[KJT922010T]

my dad found out he has last year stage 3 Melanoma and now he's fine just has to give himself injections every tuesday

[AnatomaniaK]

you are a beautiful doctor

[benye23]

tankyou

[Aueneye]

I have a raised mole on my inner thigh. Are all raised moles bad?

[JinXuanJun]

me too, but its behind my leg. its not too bumpy. did u get it checked?

[thomwick]

I just had my melanoma (clark IV = deadly) removed, and some glands removed as well. I waited too far long time for the removal. The sign in the birthmark was that it rised above the level of the skin(like a hill) and started to itch constantly. When it open up autonomic and my breathing got bad, I got the sence to my mind and rushed to the doctor.

I´m still alive....but dont wait THAT long if you suspect changes in a birthmark.

[JinXuanJun]

u never had one after that?

[thomwick]

Not so far. I go to specialist each month to check up on changes. I follow a herb program and some homeopathic remedies (and keep away from to much sunlight), which seems to work good.

[catfrenzy]

which herbs do you take? do they seem to help?

[IAmJustRd]

I just got finished with my second bout with melanoma and I'm only 20. This time it didn't spread before I caught it. Thank god! Last time it had just begin to spread to my nodes so I had to go on infearon. I'm getting the sense this is gonna be a constant struggle. Just wish I would have known when I was younger to stay out of the sun.

[thomwick]

Cancer Research Center in Seattle are in to something for curing melanoma. They take your T-cells and clone them to a massive army of T-cells who will recognice the uncontrolled growth in the melanocytes.

The Research Center says they only need to streamline the process. Whatever they mean with that I dont know.

Check it out. It may be something for you (and me too).

Dr Cassain Yee is the research leader.

[IAmJustRd]

Something about doctors taking my cells to clone them to kill my bad cells scares the crap out of me. It's all great but like it's still in the experimental stage from what I gather and who knows what effects it could have on our bodies ten or twenty years down the line. Granted getting cancer every year isn't the greatest but the treatments they have now works fine for me. And I get checked like every month so all they gotta do when they find one is cut it out.

[viathor]

Some people speak of ABCDE signs of melanoma, E standing for Evolving, i.e. changing with time.

[carolvaco]

It was good to see your video on Melanoma, a rare agreessive skin cancer. I do think all skin cancers and what parts of your body they can affect should be made known to the public and also where on their bodies this can affect.

After being diagnosed with a rare gynae cancer, also a skin cancer (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) I do think the public should be made aware of all "skin cancers".

Thank you for this educational video

[AnatomaniaK]

hope you get better with the treatment. is it from the sun?

[carolvaco]

Thank you,

I am now 7 years cancer free, you can read about this by clicking , "About this Video" where it is fully explained.

I had to undergo extremely radical surgery for my best options of survival, thankfully I continue to do well.

I did not get my skin cancer from the sun, it was on my genitals so all the more devastating to be diagnosed with a skin cancer you had not heard about, nor knew you could get in this sensitive area.

Thank you..

[AnatomaniaK]

I was watching a video of a man who had to have his genitals removed because of cancer. I know it is different but it is an area where you don't want to see cancer.

[carolvaco]

I know exactly what you mean. Having had vulval cancer which was a devastating blow to me as I had never been told about this cancer type. I was constantly misdiagnosed which led to me having to have extremely radical surgery, hence my awareness campaign and support group. Yet, after nearly 7 years of trying to raise awareness of a genital cancer it still brings a huge social stigma with it. The silence on the genital cancers needs breaking.

[AnatomaniaK]

hope you get better with the treatment. is it from the sun?

[peacemaker908]

were you always in the sun or family history of cancer?

[AnatomaniaK]

yeah, the best way to tell is by looking at how rapidly it spreads. melenoma, not fun.
