Something on my skin

[NGD99]

Hey! Does anybody know what is that thing on my skin? May it be melanoma or another carcinoma? I am so afraid and I don't really know what to do.

Did it appear suddenly? Kinda looks like an insect bite. Can you squeeze it?

[NGD99]

No, I can't squeeze it. It has appeared suddenly aproximately 1 week ago.

I am not a doctor but it looks like a bug bite.

Definitely looks more like an injury or skin irritation rather than a cancer of any sort. Especially if it appeared very suddenly. Could it be a splinter or something trapped under the skin? Looks a little inflamed! Watch it for any signs of infection!

I agree with Limeslime here. It is definitely a bit inflamed and possibly a foreign piece of debris in there. Does not look like any type of skin cancer that I am aware of. Maybe go to chemist and let Pharmacist have a look? Keep an eye on the redness... is it warm to touch as well? Cos that is a sign of a small infection.

Not a melanoma or a cancer, there is inflammation around the skin, it could be a boil or a school sore - or an infected splinter, soak it in warm water and a half a teaspoon of salt 3-4 times a day!

Looks like an infected splinter on second glance.

OR ... an abscess from a splinter ;)

Thank you so much guys! I have been very worried about it.
