Hi All
About 18 months ago I started having laser hair removal for my legs. My legs didn't have much hair on them to start with and I didn't shave them much but decided to get laser. So I had 4 treatments. About 2 months after the last treatment I noticed a raised red spot on my leg on the inner side and thought it must be a blocked follicle or ingrown hair. I squeezed it and blood came out and it seemed to heal but it turned into a slightly bigger red raised bump. I decided to pop it and squeezed and squeezed it and a lot of blood and pus came out and it because round and flat. I put some cream on it and covered with a plaster. After a couple of weeks I saw that it had healed into a raised lump. I went to a skin cancer clinic and the doctor just said it's a lesion and didn't know what it was but when I asked is it cancer he said no. This Lumo had been there for over a year now and I recently noticed a tiny dot in the middle like a scab or a hair trying to push out of it and now I'm worried again. I saw this stupid GP for something else and while there I thought I'd mention it ... he checked it and said laser causes cancer and it could be a rare cancer ...WTF??!! He suggested he biopsy t but I said no. I took some pics of it and sent it to the laser clinic and she thinks it's an ingrown hair and scar tissue as well ... I'm not confused and too scared to see anyone about it ... can anyone tell me from the pic what they think it could be ??
