Do I have skin cancer? I’m 14 and kind of scared?

Alittle background. I’m a 14 year old black male, pretty average. Now, I’ve always had somewhat dry skin, a few patches of dryness here and there that would go away. However, recently I noticed a small slightly darker patch of skin on my chest. No pain or anything, just kinda there.

I also recently got a not that dark, but darker patch of dry-looking skin on my left arm, it doesn’t look cancerous though.

Heres the thing, I don’t have like an above-average exposure to the sun, I don’t tan or anything like that. And its winter where I am right now so not that much sun. I do take really hot showers though, could that be causing it? is it just dead skin cells or something? Like most 14 year olds, I am going through puberty so are all these tiny skin changes just one of the many weird things that happens sometimes? along with acne and stuff like that? or could it be more serious.

Thanks!

What is this (could it be skin cancer?!)?

I have this scaly patch on my elbow. It’s like the color of my skin and it’s like little bumps. It is visible but only looks like dry skin most of the time. In the summer time it is itchy and you can see the little red bumps. I have no idea what it is and I’ve used lotion and it doesn’t help. It’s been there for about 2 years. My dad does have skin cancer so it is a possibility I do also.
I have no idea what it is and I’ve done reseach and all of the things I looked up it’s not….

What is a realistic prognosis for stage 3 primary liver cancer?

My brother, age 50, has advanced hepatitis C and liver cirrhosis. He has now been diagnosed with stage 3 primary liver cancer. Surgery is not an option. His abdominal cavity continues to fill with fluid which is removed about twice a week. What is a realistic life expectancy? I posted this question two days ago. My brother tells me that he is now jaundiced.

my mom passed away from liver cancer 2 weeks ago….read details*?

im 17 and a boy in high school.
i miss her very much as she was my buddy that i could tell everything to. i come home from school to a quiet house. instead of hearing "how was ur day" or seomthign like that its nothing…just dust gathering up on tables and furniture and a big empty house. My dad is horrible, i am ashamed to call him my father and embarrassed to call him my father. he isn’t even a father, hes a scum bag criminal…and a bad person, unlike me. But anyways, i kind of have no parents…and its not all that fun having "no rules"….it sucks. i want my old life back. i want to be grounded and i want to have a family to ask me how my day has been or anything.

so…what do i do? just wait anxiously for college and hope to make tons of friends and start a family of my own one day?….because thats the only possible solution i can think of. should i just forget my family?…

and i have 2 sisters. one is at college and i barely see her. the other is in high school and a very bad kid, and i mean bad as in (drugs, emo, stupid, etc.)….im the only good kid..make all a’s, going to a prestigous college, etc….im just sick of this nonsense stupid family. i wish i had a good, healthy, responsible, loving, smart, honest, clean family.

anyways. i miss my mom. hardly have a father….$&%$! im borrred as hell now what do i do?

Do I have a brain tumor?!?!? HELP!! 10 POINTS!!I?

I’m really worried! I’ve recently had these symptoms:

Nausea: I woke up this morning feeling a bit nauseous, although I WAS a bit last night. But I was fine through the course of the day. This is the first time this has happened since, probably last year.

Headache: I have been getting more frequent headaches. I have one right now, but I was just crying, so, that might be the reason. They don’t usually last long. They go away with Tylenol, and sleep. I have had probably, 3 or 4 in the last 30 days.

Tingly hands: I cracked my knuckles during school this morning, and all of a sudden, both my entire hands went all tingly for about 5 minutes. I was really scared.

Could I have a brain tumor? Or are those just common temporary issues?
One more symptom:
I got home from school today and I suddenly got this, almost like a buzzing sensation in my head, for about 10 seconds, and I got dizzy. This has happened before, but that was about 2 months ago. What is that all about?

Can someone describe the symptoms of a brain tumor?

I’m 18 and concerned. I’ve been having constant headaches that feel like my skull’s too small for a few months for a while, including a real stabbing one last night in what seems like the slightly larger side of my head. I’ve had a somewhat reduced appetite recently. My coordination and balance are a little poor: haven’t fallen down for no reason yet but I feel wobbly. I’ve been experiencing nervous tics. My limbs feel a little numb.

There are alternate explanations for all of these, including the ADHD meds I’m taking, the stress I’ve been feeling, and the contacts I haven’t been wearing. If someone has any special insight on what degree of symptoms I should be looking out for, it would be appreciated.
