Hello
I was recently diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on my back, it's an irregular shaped lesion, roughly about 3ish sms square.
It itches. I've had it years. I thought it was stress as I have a CPTSD diagnosis and autism, plus current non medical major stressors.
It itched but I managed to ignore the itching for years
I then thought it was eczema, when I got eczema on hands and feet recently, I treated them, plus my back with eczema cream, which helped the hands and feet but not the back, so I thought I would see my GP.
He asked about family history of skin cancer - I have none.
My back has not been exposed to the sun.
I have an olive complexion.
The GP took photos and sent them to Dermatology at my local hospital, who instructed him to make a non urgent referral to Dermatology.
I checked on the hospital website to see wait times, but there was no info available.
I'm not worried.
It was sore today for the first time.
I see my GP on Monday about it.
Friends have been taking photos as GP asked for them.
I don't suppose anyone can tell me what to expect treatment wise.
I assume, worst case scenario would be surgery under local anaesthetic, which is ok by me.
Thanks for reading.
