Well it wouldn't hurt to see a dermatologist.

self pay rates for a dermatologist visit are most likely half of what you'd pay for insurance in one month.

last i checked it'd cost me about 600 dollars to remove a single mole and have it tested.

my issue atm is that if i get tested and they're like 'its fucking skin cancer' then that makes it hard for me to apply for insurance since thats a pretty serious pre existing condition

I'm not a doctor ( so keep that in mind. )

I don't have a wart like that. But I have one the size of half a pencil eraser. It is red looking too, with a white circle around it. Mine isn't perfectly round.

But. In your case. IF it suddenly grew in size after messing with it. There's two things to you need to consider:

1. It is filling with blood from damage done to it. ( Likely nothing. ) But instead of trying to pop it. [ I did this years ago to mine it went away but over the years returned. ] Go see a doctor, period.

2. It could be skin cancer. [ I know, I know don't panic ] ... I may be wrong. Problem is, they can't tell just by looking at it. Sometimes it looks, has the ABC's of "IT" but then its just nothing. Lab testing is required, otherwise a look would be enough.

Remember. Is it changes color, looks off, grows suddenly. Its likely a threat to your life, checking it now, it will up the odds of it being easy to remove ( if its skin cancer. )

If you wait and wait and wait. ( It won't be overnight. ) .... [ Don't use this excuse ] .... It can be much more expensive and difficult to cure or you may die anyway.

"I know right? I started looking at my own red bump again. I have 5 to 7 'moles' I think I should have looked at. I'm 34 after-all..."

But. Do whatever OP. If you are worried about cost, welcome to America! People voted for a traitor and a coward and undoing everything a black man did better.

When people if your situation whine about not having healthcare / food stamps or free handouts. That's because republicans don't want 'YOU' me or anyone to have these things. But they want them free for themselves and their families the wealthy and such.

Besides that. Don't wait. You don't have to die cause it cost money. Cost a lot. Help insurance companies can't deny you yet... Don't know why you think that. But better get it soon.

TL;DR Go to doctor now. Deal with cost later.

the thing with this that makes me think /not/ cancer is that it happened literally an hour after i shaved the navel (and the mole by extension) but yeah.

im going to double check healthcare laws cuz i was under the impression it can be hard to get insurance if you have a 'pre-existing condition' or rather that the pre-existing condition isn't covered by your health insurance.
