Skin cancer

I’ve just found an area of skin that looks very like skin cancer - I’ve got an appointment next Friday with the doctor but I’m very worried as I’m having to wait a week to see them 

I’ve noticed this rash for a few months but thought nothing of it As it did t look like what I thought skin cancer would look like - in that it’s not itchy, sore or bleeding 

my friend noticed it and told me to get it checked 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Unfortunately, we can't comment on what this might be. It is good to get anything new and/or persistent, checked out by your GP. Most of the time, skin issues are easily explained by your doctor and aren't anything serious. You can also seek the advice of your local pharmacist, who can often suggest skin creams, or advise about seeing a GP.

    Best wishes,
