Spot on nose
I developed this spot on my nose. It doesn't hurt or itch. Can anyone advise on what it might be?
Hi
. We are not medical experts, so we can't guess as to what the spot might be but, personally, I would see a doctor as soon as possible. If it is cancer, it might be easy to remove at this stage. It might get more complicated if you wait. I wish I had a better answer for you, but you can't go wrong if you err on the side of safetly. Keep us updated if you don't mind. I'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) Hey there! 😊 From what I can see, this spot on your nose appears to be a bit of redness with some texture, which could be due to several things—sun damage, a broken capillary, or even a form of actinic keratosis (a pre-cancerous sun spot) if you’ve had a lot of sun exposure. If it’s persistent and doesn’t fade over time, I’d recommend seeing a dermatologist just to be safe! In the meantime, keep up with SPF 50 daily, avoid picking at it, and try a soothing niacinamide serum to calm any irritation.
Welcome to the community,
, and thanks for joining the conversation! It sounds like you have had some experience with skin cancer. Have you been treated for skin cancer or are you undergoing treatment now? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
