:(,,,,,,:fl,,,,hopefully it's nothing to worry about. :hugs
I don't think it's much to worry about. It's just a small scab on the back of my head which won't go away, and it's just been bothering me recently.
You'll be okay :hugs
I hope so. I just don't like the idea of them cutting into my skin.
 
I had a small sore on tip of nose, it kept scabbing over and then the scab would fall off - never healing. My doctor never paid any attention. After a year, it dawned on me that IT was still there and not healed.

Went to a dermatologist and he biopsied it,basal cell cancer. I had two rounds of Mohs surgery. He grafted some skin to fill in the hole. That was several years ago.If my doctor
had paid attention to it in the beginning maybe I wouldn't have needed the surgery.

It sounds scarier than it was. The dermatologist told me step by step how everything would feel, smell, etc. Oddly enough, it didn't bother me at all. I just don't like surprises. I put a bandaid over the site every time I went outside because I wasn't allowed to use sun block for a number of months.

Funny thing is when I was out shopping with bandage on - several people came over to say they had the same thing done to them. I found that comforting, that they had healed so well.

I think pretty much everyone in my dad's family has dealt with some kind of skin cancer at some point.
