SIGNS OF SKIN CANCER\n\nAny growth of mark on the skin that has changed or grown in size may indicate the presence of skin cancer. If you detect any of the following, you should be promptly examined by your physician:\n\nA new growth on the skin that does not disappear in four to six weeks. \nAny growing skin lesion that turns pearly, translucent, brown, black or multicolored. \nA mole, birthmark or beauty mark that increases in size, changes color or texture or becomes irregular in outline. \nAn open sore or wound that refuses to heal, persists for more than four weeks or heals and later reopens. \nAny skin spot or growth that continues to itch, hurt, crust over, form a scab, erode or bleed for several weeks. Many skin growths may look like skin cancer, but not all are malignant. Any suspicious-looking growth should be discussed with a family physician or dermatologist.

It's a lymphoma type cancer that affects the skin.  (cutaneous = skin).  Here's a site with info on it:\n\nhttp://www.cancerbacup.org.uk/Cancertype/Lymphomanon-Hodgkins/TypesofNHL/CutaneousTcell

If you had a biopsy, you probably have a qualified doctor.  Age spots are a pretty vague term.  The biopsy should give you the diagnosis.  These scabby lesions may be something called actinic keratosis which is not a cancer.  The good news is that skin cancers that are scabby are not the kind that spread.  They slowly grow in one place.  I would wait 3 months.  If the area is getting worse, see another doctor for a second opinion.  Good luck!

Have the dermatologist cut them off or freeze them off.\n\nFYI, too many skin tags is a pre-sign of colon issues in the future, they are learning......so have your colon checked for polyps or cancer when you get older.

LOOK trust me on this... Look up hidradenitis. See if any of those symptoms pertain to you. Minor, or the major ones. If you think so.. IM Me. Dont let the ppl scare you, while it could be cancerous, it more than likely isnt.

If it is just a little bit scaly or the skin is thin in this area it could very well be skin cancer.......but the good news is it may at this point only have penetrated the skin......I had it and it was treated....a small spot on my back.....as soon as I felt it and it didn't go away for a week or so I went to the doctor.  (mine was a brown color too by the way)......\nOn something like this you need to act quickly and go to the doctor immediately.......you don't want it to go into your system...the longer you wait the more chances you are taking.\nBetter to be safe than sorry.............look up in google and as for pictures of skin conditions or skin cancer for pictures.  should be there.

The general rule of thumb is, if the mole has been around as long as you can remember, you should get it checked if it: has started to grow larger, is no longer smooth against the skin (has become raised up), if the edges of it have become irregularly shaped (no longer round-ish), if it's a dark mole and a newer paler "shadow" seems to be surrounding it.  All of these would be great reasons to see a dermatologist to have it looked at.

Could possibly be warts. Make an appointment with your dermatologist, or general doctor.

Squamous cell does not lead to melanoma because squamous is a completely different type of cell and skin cancer. You can have both types of skin cancer but not in the same exact spot. Followup should be in six months if you don't have any other suspicious skin lesions and once a year after this original follow up.\n\nIf the squamous cell was removed recently, watch the area closely for new redness or if the wound quits healing return to your dermatologist. Often in the area where a squamous  has been removed the Dr will cauterize the skin which may look bad for a while but is not the same as a recurrence. A recurrence might happen 3-6 months or more after the original squamous was removed. If a dermatologist removed the original squamous and the squamous wasn't real large then you probably don't have anything to worry about from this same spot as the cure rate is quite high. You do need to always use a strong broad spectrum suntan lotion on this area from now on, no exceptions. Also, after you have had one squamous your chances for another squamous and all skin cancers in general is now significantly higher than in someone who has never had a skin cancer removed.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000829.htm

the doctor will of course look at the whole body skin, you can hope there are no more suspiscious lesions, but this word is the hallmark, if something does not look right, they will remove it for further evaluation. Hope you don't have any mroe of it, good luck

A rash, a pimple, irritation... I wouldn't know, you didn't specify where and how it looks exactly. Try showering everyday and washing that part of your skin thoroughly.
