A spot that won't go away
I have a spot on my face I have had for about a few months that won't go away. At first i thought it was a pimple but it's now getting bigger. It's also shapped pretty abnormal. The best way i can describe it is like a guitar. A circle and a rectangle next to it but there together. It doesn't hurt or anything but its really noticable, make up wont even cover it up. What do you think it is?
Please help i hate feeling ugly like this :[

Good question! I am not a doctor, but I learned about this in school, and it sounds a little like skin cancer. Check it out soon, because the earlier, the better. Here are the characteristics of skin cancer:
Asymmetry: one half of the mark doesn't equal the other side.
Border Irregularity: ragged, blurred, or notched borders.
Color: not the same color throughout. There are shades of tan, black, red, and blue.
Diameter: greater than 6mm, although any new mole should be of concern.
Please compare your spot to the characteristics above. Even if it does not match them, you should go to the doctor because it could be something else. Good luck with everything, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to write back!

Cut it off using scissors... JOKING, as the other person said, get it checked with your docotor before doing anything else.
