Possible skin cancer on forehead please read

Hi all, I hope everyone's keeping well. 

Around 5 months ago a strange, small mark appeared on my forehead. I thought it was a weird spot and ignored it. Over the months it's grown, it scabs, the scab comes off then it becomes very sore and appears as a raised red spot with a black dot inside and then scabs over again. It's pretty big now, 5mm I'd say. It's starting to really worry me, I guess I'm seeing if anyone's had similar experiences and it's been something that's not cancer?or does this sound like typical skin cancer? If it was skin cancer.. Would it have spread to other places by now? Thanks for reading. Take care all xx

  • Hi Lila.  I am not familiar with skin cancer, but I have twice had cancer (still got it in fact) and and I know how frightening it can be, the thought that you might have the big C.........but Lila, you can not possibly diagnose yourself..........PLEASE go to your Doctor and get it checked out.  More than likely it is just a harmless skin blemish........but, if it is cancer, remember, the earlier it is caught, the higher the chance of beating it.  Good luck mate, xx

  • I've just had surgery on my forehead for skin cancer. It comes in a variety of forms and although it doesn't sound quite like mine you can't really tell. I would recommend getting it checked out. It's always better to if in doubt. 
    I wish you all the best x
