Im in a terrible state at the moment, I keep googling skin cancer symtoms an images an getting myself more scaried.. so many pictures an storys of what look like spots, that turn out to be cancerous. My problem is that i have this what looks like a spot on my leg, it is red an raised, about the size of a pea.. but its been on my leg for well over a year now ( i know i shouldnt of left it this long without seeing a doc , i ment to go earlyer in the year.. but then the covid stuff happened an the doctors was closed for a while because of it ). Until now i had just thought it was a ingrown hair causing the spot, an had been treating it as such.. but shouldnt it have cleared up by now if it was a ingrown hair? but i do not know how long ingrown hairs can last, since this is new for me. The spot has never caused me any problems, no pain , no itching , no bleeding .. just now an then i get a prickleing sensation from it. I look at the ABCE of skin cancer as a guide, asymmetry - my spot is perfectly round. Border - its not irregular.. it sort of fades into my naturel skin tone. Colour - its all the same colour just red. Diameter - its about the size of a pea. So basicly it just looks like a spot, but it still worrys me greatly that maybe it isnt a ingrown hair, what if it is skin cancer? have i left it to long now.. if it is cancer an ive had it on my leg all this time wouldnt it changed somewhat in all this time? because it hasnt, since it came up it hasnt changed or grown any. The spot has got dry an slightly crusty skin on it , but i think thats just because i put neat tea tree oil on it an this dried my skin out. I want to get to my doctor to have it looked at, but i doubt ill be able to see him until next week, an im not sure i can take a week of stressing over this. Does this spot sound sinister to you? id post a pic of it , but i wasnt sure if it was allowed here.
