Skin cancer is serious stuff.
I had a small spot like that on my Facial cheek,
growing to the size of large walnut in
less than 60 days (!).
Major Surgery (removal of Lymph+Parotid Glands)
did not get it all. Options left are Radiation+Chemo,
and very serious side effects.
- consult with dermatologist ASAP.
- Get a biopsy ASAP. (many Derma Docs will say to
'watch and wait'. I disagree. I waited too long, while the
Derma Doc said: "oh it's most likely benign, nothing to worry about)
- be aggressive about scheduling a MOHS procedure
if biopsy indicates the need to remove it.
- Keep a sharp eye on growth, catch it early.
Good Luck,
it's likely nothing,
but better safe than sorry!
