23/M. I have no idea how long it has actually been there for but for at least 2 years I have had a very small white oval 'spot' on my left forearm. Up close it is perhaps the tiniest bit raised, almost perfectly oval, but looks just like scar tissue. I am, and have always been fairly pale, but this 'spot' is pure white and certainly noticeably lighter than the surrounding skin. Like I say looks just like a very small oval scar. The only strange thing is I do not remember ever burning or injuring myself there, and I don't remember there ever being a mole or anything in that location.
My HA is ridiculous and I've managed to convince myself this could be some kind of undiagnosed skin cancer and thus the resulting worry that if it was, after at least 2 years I could be screwed. The only positive thing is the scar like spot has not changed at all in the past 2 years, same size, texture everything, no other colours running through, its exactly the same.
I guess what my question is is, if it were a skin cancer would it have changed/grown in the past 2 years, or to put it another way, do skin cancers always change and/or grow?
