I'm 39 and recently contacted my GP about a lesion on my shoulder. I have Keratosis Pilaris and figured it was probably a blocked sebaceous gland and never really thought much about it. I've probably had it a few years and I'm not sure what prompted me to get it checked after so long.
Anyway I was referred to a skin centre where they use DERM technology to assess the skin and whilst I was there I thought I'd get another small mark checked out that looked a bit like a spot, I even apologised for wanting it checked as I was sure it would be nothing. I was fully confident there would be no issues and I'd feel silly for wanting them checked but 10 minutes after walking out they rang to say both lesions had been identified as possible skin cancers and they've referred me on the cancer pathway. I'm so shocked and just burst into tears. I know it's not a definite diagnosis but I feel so worried and don't feel they would have referred me if it wasn't anything to worry about. I'm sat in the car not knowing what to do as I don't want to go in and for my son to see me upset. Are these technologies ever wrong?.
