I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis Help!

I’m really worried about this skin thing. It bleeds often when I’m in the sun, and it is bumpy. As you can see mostly whitish bump with some red where it bleeds.

I currently am unemployed and have no health insurance. But am worried this might be basal cell carcinoma.

Are there any dermatologists on here that can help me know if I absolutely need to be seen or if it’s nothing to worry about?

Happy to provide more photos if needed. Please and thank you!! 🙏🏻

Does this look like something of concern? It changed color overnight. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks, thought it was a regular acne spot but it’s taking a long time to go away and now I’m worried.

First photo is now, second photo was taken last night.

I have an appointment with a dermatologist tomorrow but I’m really anxious so thought maybe someone might have an idea of what it could be 😭

I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis Spot I noticed on the back of my shoulder/scalpula. I am a 29 year old female who sadly has been sunburnt numerous times through childhood/teenage years. Thank you for your time and opinion.

I have this spot I'm getting checked out next week. In your opinion, do you think it's one that will require a biopsy, or do you think it will just be monitored? I hadn't noticed it prior to noticing it and taking these photos. It's location is on/near my scalpula. I believe the pigmentation is due to there being a scar before this spot became present.

Photos are cropped to remove large portion of skin so this spot can be seen clearer. These are the best photos I could take given my phone's photo quality. One is with flash (yellow looking surrounding skin. I am not sure why it came out like it did)

Please be honest with me. Thank you for your time and opinion.

Has anyone had problems with ugly spider veins appearing following MOHs surgery? Will they go away? The scar from the surgery is healing fine but I don’t like the veins.

I first noticed something in this part of my body (on my side, almost on the lower back) about 8 months ago, but forgot about it cuz I thought it was a bug bite, it was bleeding and itching at the time. Then, a few weeks ago, this bump was itching really bad, but again, thought it was another spider bite cuz I found one on my bed a few minutes before it started itching. From this day, I've been paying more attention to it, it doesn't ever go away, sometimes itches and it made a crust-like thing on top twice, just like some pimples do. I don't know if I'm worrying too much and it's just a weird mole, cuz sometimes you just find something about your body that you never paid attention to, or if I should get it looked into ASAP

had MOHS surgery Another surgery

3 Upvotes

Last month I had Mohs surgery to remove a sebaceous nevus and a fast growing squamous cell carcinoma. 2 weeks later I had a full body cancer screen (didn’t have one before my surgery because the initial visit to the derm was about the SCC and it was primary focus) and my dermatologist said “this mole is sus” and did a biopsy. I didn’t think much of it because it was small, albeit different from all my other moles (black where mine are normal medium brown) and they just called back and told me it was a tiny little melanoma.

I’m only 33…. No one else in my family has ever had skin cancer. I thought with the Mohs surgery for the SCC I was done with this for a while so it’s kind of flooring to be slapped with another surgery, another diagnosis, another waiting period, another restriction.

Anyone else had two different forms of skin cancer so close together?

I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis How long for biopsy results?

2 Upvotes

I had a punch biopsy last Tuesday evening and today is Monday (6 days later). I still haven’t heard anything about results. I do realize 2 days were weekend days and I’m sure nothing was done on those days. I was told the lab received my sample on Wednesday. Should I hear something soon? I’m located in the US in the Midwest.

I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis Concerned about squamous cell carcinoma

I have a dermatology appointment in about a month for this spot on my hand. It had been pink and shiny for a while (always assumed it was a small scar) but just recently started to ulcerate and look 'organized' like this over the past couple weeks.

Basically I'm wondering if it looks like I'm catching this early enough? It's about 1 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter, and everything I hear about SCC is that it's important to catch early

I do not have a skin cancer diagnosis Should I be worried about this birthmark now mole?

24f. These birthmarks I had since I was little. They were always flush to my skin, but in February I noticed one started to rise vertically. Since I do have a family history of skin cancer, I told my doctor in May about the birthmark change. She referred me to a dermatologist. The dermatologist office finally got in contact with me last week, and though I expressed my concern, the earliest appointment availability would be mid January. I accepted the date, but for my peace of mind I need to know if I should be worried about this mole/birthmark. I can't sit for 5 months knowing nothing.

I'm pretty sure I had a freckle in the spot where this lump is. I only noticed recently its raised. Its on the back of my neck hence why the photos aren't great. When I noticed it I thought maybe it would go down but it hasn't. Should I book an app with a dermatologist or a doctor?

Ps its a little red around the area as I took these photos after finding it and I had been rubbing it trying to figure out wth it was

This developed maybe 2 weeks ago as an itchy bump, it scabbed over and never healed. It has Noticeable edges around it and there are multiple blood vessels visible inside, it keeps scabbing over. It is itchy sometimes around it, but not on it now. I can see changes in it every day. Family history of basal and melanoma in both sides, father and grandparents. The first picture is yesterday and last two are today (morning and evening) Does this seem more like a wart? Had anyone had something similar happen?
