Hello and thanks for your post

Many people contact us because they are concerned that symptoms they have might be caused by cancer. We are unable to diagnose anyone and the best advice we can give is for your partner to make an appointment with his doctor.

Doctors are very experienced at looking at skin conditions. They may ask for a phone photo to be emailed to them to have a look at the area of concern. They will be able to tell your partner what they think. If necessary, they may consider referring him to a dermatologist (skin specialist). Most of the time, skin conditions are nothing to worry about, but its sensible to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

I hope you know more about your partner's situation soon. If you would prefer to speak to one of the nurses directly, you can telephone us on 0808 800 4040. We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

Kind Regards,

Celene
