I had small bump on my head that itched and when I scratched it became slightly bigger. Couldn't get to see a gp as was told nurse dealt with skin problems. She took scraping from it and took a photograph, sent it off to dermatology. Result that came back was a fungal infection and that's what I was treated for. Never healed totally and 2 ys in my family noticed it was worse. I couldn't see it because of where it is on my scalp. Back again to see same nurse and same procedure. 2 weeks later told Id been referred to 'plastics'in my local hospital. Consultant took one look at it and said it was a tumour. I had to stay to have biopsy done that day. Back to see consultant couple of weeks later who confirmed it was BCC. Im going to hospital for surgery in two weeks time go have it removed, obviously with a margin around it. Im going to have skin removed from my thigh to do a graft. Very nervous about it. Going to be left with a fair sized bald patch which is depressing. Has anyone else had similar and has suggestions hair wise to cover it. I have fairly short hair.
