I have this thing on my neck, please help?

Question:

About 2 months ago, this thing just appeared on my neck. At first I thought it was a blood blister, but it kinda resembles a mole too. I was hoping it would go away on its own. It seems to have gotten smaller, but now it seems to be more raised. It's really noticeable and people constantly make comments about it.

I went to a regular doctor yesterday and he said it was nothing serious/dangerous. But I couldn't really understand him. I think he was saying "strawberry hemangioma" but I researched those and it says they are birthmarks that occur on children. I'm 18! I want to go to a dermatologist and get rid of it, but I have no healthcare coverage.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Is there anything that I can do to get rid of it or at least reduce the appearance of it until I can get to a dermatologist?

Answers:
I had something similar right between my freakin' eyes. I went to the doc and he said it's probably nothing. So I got a second opinion and they said the same thing, except they took it off and had it tested. It was a form of skin cancer and it was caught before anything really, really bad happened.
Doctor's aren't perfect, so if it's not normal, you're worried, or others have expressed concern - do yourself a favor and have it removed. Even if it's nothing, better safe than sorry.
Don't worry, you'll be fine.

go to another doctor...one you can understand, and get a 2nd opinion.
