Lump on back

Hi , I spotted a lump on my back which very light pink and has scab in the middle , my sister saying looks like skin cancer, it does hurt when touched 

  • Hello Tinker08 and thanks for your post,

    I would make an appointment with your GP and get them to take a look. It is difficult for us to give an opinion without being able to see it. It could be a spot that has become infected which is why it is sore so try not to over think it for now.

    We have some information on our website about skin cancer symptoms which you may find helpful to look at.

    It is quite a good idea when you notice something that you have concerns about that you take a photograph and then you can look back at it to see if there are any changes.

    You may find it helpful to look at the information on our website about protecting yourself in the sun

    I hope these links help.

    If you would like to speak to one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Catherine
