Hi leglump and thank you for your post. 

I am sorry to learn that you are worried about a small area on your leg.

Many people contact us because they are concerned that symptoms they have might be caused by cancer. We are unable to diagnose you and the best advice we can give is to go and see your doctor.

They will be able to assess your symptoms and decide whether you need to go for any further tests. Although this can seem frightening, in some cases the symptoms will be caused by something else other than cancer. But it is always sensible to get any problems you have checked out.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Tina
