So I'm 15 and I've absolutely convinced myself that I have skin cancer on my scalp. I use this acne cream that makes your skin more sensitive to the sun and I'm really scared and worried that it's caused skin cancer to develop.
The spot is this tiny little bald area in my scalp that looks shiny and like a scar almost. It's pinkish white and there are no hair follicles in the bald area. It crusted over a couple days ago and I started googling... I know that it's very rare for skin cancer to happen to a fifteen year old but I feel like statistics don't work for HA sufferers... there's always that uncertainty.
What do you guys think? Something to worry about, or not.
I'm seeing the derm in late August but I feel like I need to see her sooner!
