Okay guys, im actually crying right now..
For the last 2 years I have had this red pimple occur on my nose, except its not a normal pimple, Its almost like a little blister, a bubble that can be drained and heals within a week
ive only had it 4 times in the last 2 years.
However, the last 2 times it came in quick succession...I havent had bad sunburn in the past and i never use tanning beds..
but this isnt normal.
'its all dry and scabby atm because i drained it last week but when it happens again, i know it will, i will try and upload a picture.
I dont understand what else it can be
It usually occurs after ive been in the sun, i use differin does that mean anything? do you think its a reaction between differin and the sun? or is it cancer?
i hope its not cancer guys but it doenst seem to be healing at all.
i looked at some pics on the internet and theres a few that look kinda similar.
pls post pic if u can!
yesterday my tip of nose suddenly without any obv reason became red nd slightly puffed up. i just lost my shit, looking like a clown again =_= so might be something similar to u! hope tht makes u feel a little better lol. i put bunch of zinc cream on it overnight now, it reduced it
Skin cancer isn't something that will crop up from time to time. It also usually presents itself in a mole first. Some moles visible and some not.
My suggestion is to get yourself into a dermatologist for a skin check ASAP. See if your worried is valid.
My guess it's just a zit. If you can drain it and it has happened twice in 4 years.
Calm down a bit, please, don't cry yet. I would recommend you to see a dermatologist before you make anything rash.
I only have one question for you: Does the Šthing‹have a regular shape?
If so, I could be a blood beauty mark (sorry about the term, I don't know how is it in English, in Spanish is "lunar de sangre")
I recommend you to see a professional just in case.
Here is a picture of normal beauty marks vs cancer.
But BCC does come and go and presents itself as a white pearl, its not a pimple, ive had underground pimples and cysts etc and this seems like a blister...it is always in the exact same spot.
when it comes back im going to see someone, i feel too scared to make my family worry, they are all the way in japan and stressing them out will not help me...
i dont know what to do...im an international student in england, do i just go to gp?
ive been researching it all day and now im so depressed, i think it is bcc...it matches most things, its just not a mole but it doesnt have to be
its the same shape, texture etc every time and comes up in a night, no warning and no pain.
it is very squishy to the touch and with a small prick of a needle, liquid comes out and crusts up.
i dont know what to do, i cant see anyone atm as its just a red patch of skin now, and not raised or suspicious looking.
next time im also not going to pop it and see if it hardens or whatever,
do i stay in uk or go home? so confused and depressed
also ive been using differin for about a year and read that it can cause bcc...
Not to scare you, but my aunt had a similar pimple looking bump on her temple that would not go away, and it did turn out to be a form of skin cancer. Nothing near as bad as melanoma, but still... cancer is cancer. It's best to have a doctor do a biopsy of it. I know it's a scary thought, but you need to be proactive about your health.
Unfortunately I am unable to see a GP.
I was studying masters and sw the university gp practice, but now that i have finished my masters i am not part of the practice anymore. They wont see me and i dont know what to do.
Dermatologists are hard to find in uk
This is what I have:
recuring blister on nose, it only appears after going in the sun whilst on differin. It was never hard, but soft and squishy.
it usually bursts and leaves behind some PIH.
At the moment i have some dry red skin there because i had one 2 weeks ago.
It does not resemble a pimple at all, nor does it look like a nodule.
it never stays but rather comes and goes and the skin is probably damsged.
People who say that you cant get skin cancer at 21, you can. It is rare but you can,
I have very fair skin and tend to scar easily.
Is there somewhere i can go as an international student, uk seems to be hard for me to secure a practice.
I am going back to japan in november so i dont want to wait,
