Not being very tech minded will just retype what I posted in new to the community post. I have been treating various AK sites since last November when did an eco suit on strange patches on my hand practice nurse told me nothing to worry about but just thought I would check with Dr He prescribed Eufidix to treat what he diagnosed as AK no problems treatment worked really well and AK were gone in just over 4 weeks Decided to have a whole body check with private dermatologist and he recommended several areas that needed Eufidix treatment He was well impressed with the reaction to the cream and final area I treated was back of my left hand this left me with a small bump saw two separate GP who both said nothing to worry about and one thought AK so froze it no reaction to freezing so back to dermatologist who said the area was too inflamed to tell quite was going on so took biopsy now waiting for results and feeling quite anxious He did assure me if it was skin cancer it would be a non melanoma one and I had caught it really early Will update when I get the result
Hi and a very warm welcome to the skin cancer group
Everyone here knows how hard waiting for biopsy results can be so please feel free to come here and have a bit of a rant if you want to. You might also find it helpful to read this article on how to ease worry when waiting for medical test results.
What sort of timescale did they give you for results when the biopsy was done? Hopefully you don't have too much longer to wait.

Two to three weeks it was a private biopsy so hopefully not too much longer to wait Will take a look at the link thank you
Do let us know what the biopsy reveals . I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
