So I just came back from a two day holiday and before I went I noticed these round rash like purply/red patches on my foot, I worried a little bit but didn't pay too much attention to them and then I just got back home tonight and noticed a similar spot on my forehead (a little less noticeable) and so I googled.
Skin lymphoma came up and other types with an extremely similar picture to what I have on my foot though mine seems a little fainter. I'm panicking through the roof, I'm so upset. I have recently been using a different soap but I really don't think thats it. It could be but I'm not sure. Some one please help, my heart has fallen into my stomach. I know little about this type of cancer. I'm so bloody terrified.

okay I'm not going to freak out, the pathes seem like they have faded a bit over the last few days and not spread. i'll give it a few days before I run to the doctor. I feel fine, and I'm trying to think about my aunt who started getting extremelyitchy pathes all over her body and she was fine. Mine don't itch and they've faded a little. What brought them on I have no idea :(

"Skin lymphomas are rare. Fewer than 10 out of every million people in the UK develop a skin lymphoma each year. Although skin lymphomas are a form of cancer, in many cases they are very slow growing and do not affect life expectancy. They behave more like a long-term (chronic) skin condition than like a cancer." okay this made me feel a bit better,
