How long does melanoma (after a mole becomes malignant) take to spread and cause a person to die?

---

Does it take years after malignancy of a mole or does melanoma spread within a few weeks as with other cancers? For example if someone has a mole (dysplastic nevi) for more than 2 years, could it be that this mole has been malignant for two years or longer?
Difficult to say as each person is an individual. Some cancers grow slower than others and some take off like wildfire and spread within a few weeks. Cancer means the uncontrollable growth of cells . . so the fact that they may grow quickly should never come as a surprise to anyone.

Death from malignancy is also an individual thing since much will depend on the overall health of the individual, age, and their response to treatment.

As for your question about how long it takes a mole to become malignant .. again it depends on the person. Some cancers can stay dormant for undetermined amount of time and than suddenly begin growing rapidly. No one knows why or we would be able to stop cancer.
That is why it is best to treat cancer when it is small and manageable because you never know when it is going to have a 'growth spurt' and spread like wildfire.  (+ info)

How long does it take a mole to stop bleeding?

---

I recently just cut a mole and it started bleeding. I put ice on it and it stopped, but as soon as I take it off it starts to bleed again. There is no hair on the mole, and I've had it my whole life. How long does a mole take to stop bleeding?
Please note: I didn't intentionally cut the mole and it is still there.
Why would you cut it off and be so suprised that it's bleeding that you ask random people on the internet? It will bleed until it's done and you should've had a doctor do it  (+ info)

How can I convince my parents that a scar is better than a mole?

---

My parents don't want me to get mole removal done because of the possibility of scarring. The mole is black, raised, and on my face. It hate it, I know it looks gross. Apparently in their culture it is a "beauty mark" and they think a scar will look"unnatural". I'd much rather have a small scar that you can conceal with makeup than a large hideous raised black mole. It is also starting to get more raised.
You can have it frozen off. It will not leave a scar. It's a fairly simple procedure, I've had it done a few years ago.  (+ info)

How do i go about removing a mole?

---

I really don't want surgery, and i really don't want to collect lots of items which i don't need - just a simple product. My mole is on my face, just by my chin. I remember my dad saying that he had this mole-freezer thing which froze a mole, and then it would fall off a few days later.
I don't really believe it but this is the natural way to remove a mole, personally i would suggest seeing a doctor.

How do you fade a mole without removing it?

---

How do you fade the colour of a mole? Perhaps turning it from a dark brown to a light light brown? How can you do that so it blends with your skin pigment? I don't want to remove it because I don't want unnecessary scarring but I just want to dim out the colour since it's a tiny mole (about the size of the tip of a pencil).

Any answers will be appreciated, best answer will be chosen, thanks.

What does it mean when a small area of a mole that I've at for at least 3 turns slightly darker?

---

I used to have a mole that was somewhat shaped like a heart. But now that spot is being filled so now the mole looks more like a circle/oval. Is a possible for a part of a mole to go from lightish to dark(matching the rest of the mole) in a month with out it being a problem?
Actually, looking at it again. It looks either the same, or even slightly smaller.
Run, do not walk, to your doctor. This is likely to be a sign of some form of skin cancer. I'm not a doctor qualified to give medical advice but I am about to undergo my 4th operation for skin cancer. Do not delay even one more day is my advace as a layman.  (+ info)
