Some advice

... I know what it feels like to find a suspicious spot and wonder if it could be something serious. The fact that you found it shows that you are being proactive with self-checks--and that is awesome.


While we aren't doctors and cannot diagnose, we can encourage you to have it checked by a dermatologist. Skin cancers come in many shapes, sizes, and textures. A dermatologist will be able to do a close examination and biopsy the spot if they find it necessary. I can tell you from my own experience that I have had spots that looked siimilar that turned out to be nothing serious, but I have also had spots that looked much less serious that were actually basal cell carcinoma. Skin cancer is a very strange thing. I know the worry well.


I am including an article that explains the warning signs of skin cancer. It may come in handy as you examine your skin regularly.
