Backstory. She's had this spot on her nose for ages she can't remember how long.

Anyways she picked it and nothing came out and then she stupidly burnt it away with a cotton bud and hot water then picked it it scabbed and healed but grew back the same no bigger not bleeding or nothing. She is not a sun worshipper to.

She's thinking the worst and has major health anxiety so I though I would get peoples
Opinions as I'm not even sure what a bcc looks like thanks oh it's on the side of her nose xx

Looks like a little keloid scar from where she has picked it to me but if she's worried she should get it checked out.

It looks identical to the bump at 11pm (use the circled one and then clock-face)

If it's a BCC they don't metastasise so she needn't worry.

It might be. Her doctor will advise her.

It does look similar to a bcc but they are nothing to worry about, it might get bigger so they'll remove it but it's not dangerous in itself.
