I know that's not how you spell it but I have been diagnosed with this after a punch biopsy, it seems to be spreading and it's across my nose so quite awful, both my nan and aunt had bad skin cancer, my nan had a lot of her face removed because of it and my aunt on her back, I also have a new mole/freckle appear on my stomach that keeps crusting over, any advice please

Yeah lol when it comes it pours! But sometimes we all think we're on our own, so it's nice to know not suffering in silence now and not on our own! 😁 Hope all goes well for you 👍
