Is this cancer? Thing growing on my Finger.

***Links to images removed in line with forum terms and conditions***

So yesterday I started noticing a thing on my finger.

Please help me to identify if it is cancer.

I suspect sarcoma but I'm relatively new to cancer.

I am 14 y old.

 

I cut it open bc I thought it might be a splinter.

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    It sounds unlikely to be anything as serious as cancer. Cancer at your age is not common.

    If you have cut in to it the lesion on your finger then it would be a good idea to show it to a trusted adult such as a parent or your GP. It is important that it is properly cleaned so you don't develop an infection.

    If you are worried about the cut then do phone NHS111 for their advice here

    Do make sure that someone is able to look at it soon.

    Best Wishes,

    Catherine
