Lesions on scalp.
I have three lesions on scalp which have been there for over 5 years. Can someone tell me what they are ? I am really scared. Attaching a close-up of one of the lesions via a mobile phone camera
The fear can be overwhelming,
. So sorry you're going through this! Unfortunately, we can't offer any diagnostic or medical advice for your safety. Other than by a pathologist with a microscope, skin cancer simply can't be diagnosed by looking at it. In fact, it's why we're wary of sharing photographs of cancerous spots — they often provide a false sense of security. Furthermore, skin cancer looks different on every person.
Only a dermatologist has the tools, education, and resources to diagnose properly. Here's what a proper skin exam is like, https://skincancer.net/diagnosis/physical-examination/. Doctor appointments are a hassle, but so worth it for your peace of mind!
Can you contact a dermatologist to take a look? If not, let us know and we'll provide some links to help you find a free screening nearby. -Eileen, SkinCancer.net Team
