Hi everyone,

 

Just looking for advice.

 

I have a small (about 1cm) skin coloured bump on my back. It is painless but sore when pressed on hardly. It has been present for approx 7 years and hasn't grown visibly. I am worried that it is basal cell carcinoma. Anyone have any opinions or experiences?

  • Hi Jayne97xx,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It will only be your doctor who can advise on this, so if you have any concerns or you feel you'd like some peace of mind, it would be best to give them a call. Hopefully you can do that and get some reassurance.

    Of course if anyone else here has similar experience to share and sees your post then you may get some more replies soon.

    All the best,
