Good morning
had an open sore on my head , that had bled then scabbed over. Went to doctors and have been referred on to dermatology( previously had 2a melanoma) . Thing is I use 2 skin ai apps that said it was bcc.
so take regular photos. Now it seems to have healed and has just left a pink mark on my head( seemed to happen overnight. I really starting to think maybe I wasting dermatology time.
anyone had a similar thing happen.
regards
a
I haven't had exactly the same but I do have a mark on my chest that comes and goes. I'm pretty sure it's a BCC and next time it stays long enough I shall be popping along to the GP.
Please don't feel that you're wasting the dermatologist's time, it may have reappeared by the time of your appointment.
I went to the GP with what I thought was actinic keratosis (pre squamous cell carcinoma) but by the time I got to consultant the scab had fallen off and it was nothing. He then found a bcc in another area of my head which I had ignored thinking it was just a small spot. Don’t think you’re wasting time, best to check these things out. I have started to use skin vision app. I have previously had a bcc removed. If you have a history it’s always best to take it seriously.
