I’ve had multiple skin cancers. The most recent were last year, the year before, and during the pandemic. I went to get something checked on my face from a previous Moh’s surgery which turned out to be pre-cancer in a couple spots that was burned off. Now I’m waiting on a biopsy on my forehead I didn’t really notice but I knew what area the dermatologist was talking about because it was sore. That was an unexpected biopsy. I’m normally the one that finds my skin cancers. Hopefully it’s just an inflamed keratosis.
The fact that it’s painful is concerning. Most the time I haven’t felt much pain aside from a previous fast growing squamous cell. This one still hurts today, maybe it’s just a sensitive area.
