Hi, All;) Recently been clinically diagnosed with bcc on scalp. Hard to tell but the lesion seems to be about 2 mm. It's right at the top of my scalp, so a place where sun could definitely do damage. And super hard to see or monitor. I have had it...
Hi. I have a mole on the head of my penis.. Been there ages but got darker and bigger and occasionally painful. Had it looked at a few times over the past 2 years.. Generally dismissive of it.. Went back to my Doctor about 7 months ago who referred me...
Hello all, Just wanting to introduce myself to the group. Anyone can message me at anytime BTW (if you can - sorry I’m totally new here) My story so far is that my mum went to the doctors just before Christmas and was told she had BCC and within the...
Good evening, I’ve joined this group as I had a biopsy yesterday on my nose and I’ve been told it’s Basel cell carcinoma. The consultant said it will require Mohs surgery and a skin graft from my collarbone. The actual results will take a few weeks...

Sorry this will be a long moan, I really am a lucky person in so many ways but feeling so low and lonely. I have been waiting months on NHS while my lesion grew. It still looks like nothing much, but apparently is “substantial “ and “infiltrating”....
Hi everyone, I don’t know if I should be posting here but looking for some advice. I have been struggling for so long to book a GP appointment. I’ve given up waiting so booked a private appointment and been given a referral under 2WW. I’m seeing a dermatologist...
Hello, I was diagnosed with a BCC a few weeks ago. It's been growing for a year and a half now and before Christmas the area around the BCC was very painful, so I knew it was something. I know this is the best skin cancer to have but I've just been...
