Skin discoloration

I'm very embarrassed by my skin.

  1. Hi . I see you're new here. Welcome! Please know you are far from alone. It's normal to feel embarrassed at the changes skin cancer and it's treatment can cause. Do you have scars from past treatment or are you in the process of using Efudex? Here is a wonderful article about the emotional impact of skin cancer that offers some advice for coping: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/mourning-loss. I hope this helps and that you will find the support you need here in this community. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
