Melanoma

I had a small mole on my back. It was about the size of a pencil eraser, and it seemed normal in most ways, except I noticed that it started to hurt. Not like really bad hurt, like maybe a one or a two on the scale, but usually a mole I just can't feel it at all, so that was a little weird. And then as I could reach back there and feel it, it just was a little bit rough, like just some sandpaper or something, maybe like a scab. And both of those things seemed a little weird, and went in to have it checked. It was so small, and it was round, and so it didn't seem too unusual, but sure enough, it was melanoma skin cancer and had to have it removed.
