Hi , I have on my face a few areas of sun damage , last year i went to a skin clinic and had a top to toe scan done and seen by dermatologist ,all was fine ,that was in october last year .

the nurse said if i wanted i could have lazer treatment done to get rid of them .

Now i noticed last week a little red spot right next to one of the areas side of cheek , it may well have been there before i dont know but now i cant stp checking and looking at it all the time worried may be SC ...
its not angry red, or itchy, sore , scaly at all , i do have a few pimples on my face may be like one of those im just panicking as so close to other bit thats why im so worried .
i brefley showed my doc last week she said was ok but she was in a bit of a hurry i think .

would /could this patch develop into SC so quickly ?
does it sound like SC ?

im out of my mind with worry ,

i have had theses patches for some time so thats not new ,
i have made appt on friday with dermatologist but im still worried of what he may say .

I suffer with Health anx and am bad at moment ,as you can tell ..
thanks for listening

If it was any form of skin cancer it would be dark or scaley and red. I really don't think you have anything to worry about

Are you getting any help with your health anxiety ? If not, I think you really need to push your GP to get a referral to someone who can help as it seems to be really taking over your life
