Worried I have skin cancer

I've totally convinced myself that I have skin cancer on my lower leg. I've always suffered from eczema but this isn't like that. I noticed that there was a small discoloured patch of skin smaller than a 5p piece.  That was the other day. I noticed today that you it's now very red - it's flat but looks like there's a little hole in it. After dr Googling which I really shouldn't have done, I'm now convinced I've got squamous cancer cells. The drs aren't open at the weekend and I'm going out of my mind with worry!

  • Hello Minty1,

    The best thing to do is to try calling your doctor during the week about these problems. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful,
