True. I'm also assuming that if I had cancer, I'd be feeling pretty ill or showing other symptoms after 3+ months?Originally Posted by BlueIris

Made it a statement instead of a reassurance seeking question. That's your answer.

They do, but I feel like I’ve seen many cases of when someone has something wrong with them and nobody can seem to explain it, it is cancer.

That's because these are the cases that get publicised - it's confirmation bias at work.

I guess part of what makes me nervous is I have been dealing with this for probably close to 4 months and I took 2-3 weeks after the issue first became obvious to go to the doctor originally. I have a close relative who had minor ailments here and there, and they waited to see the doctor like I did, and what would normally be an extremely treatable form of cancer killed them. That person wasn't some Daily Mail headline. If I had to point to one event that made me so concerned about my health, it would be that.

A biopsy can determine if it actually is psoriasis, a type of dermatitis, infection etc.

I'm really sorry for your loss, Beq. That does put things into perspective.
Be kind to yourself, okay?

I didn’t realize that. I was thinking it was strange the derm said we could do a biopsy even though he wasn’t considering cancer at all. He suggested several possibilities: eczema, psoriasis, and fungal infection

Thank you. It was much worse when I was younger, but I still go through health panics like this occasionally.
