Lots of bad stuff happening, what to do?
Yesterday I had Mohs
skin
cancer
surgery
on my nose for a basal call carcinoma. It's hideous and sore but my reason for jumping on was that I'm wanting to get off of the Hydrea because I'm certain in my mind that it started my skin cancer & I'm afraid of melanoma or even another basal cell!!

Always the unexpected!
I recently had to have surgery on my face for Basal Cell Carcinomas (a not too drastic skin problem from sun damage). As I have multiple health issues the surgeon decided on a general anaesthetic to do skin grafts. I checked in and when the anaesthetist saw me I asked if he had seen the letter from

Is this Scabies?
Please tell me if this looks like scabies? This is right under the armpit. I have tried to crop and focus on the problem area but can share another version of this photo if it is not clear. I am morbidly obese so a lot of skin stretching is happening.

Acalabrutinib and Skin Cancers
I began taking Acalabrutinib three years ago as a participant in a clinical trial. I have enjoyed excellent success. However, recently I began breaking out in skin cancer lesions on various parts of the body. Particularly on my legs, ankles and feet. I have been prone to sun damaged skin converting

What is Melanoma?
Melanoma begins in melanocytes – the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colours the skin, hair and eyes. Melanocytes also form moles, where melanoma often, but not always develops. These cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (most commonly caused by over-exposure

90% of skin cancer is preventable!
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the UK. With up to 90% of cases being preventable it seems ludicrous that the estimated annual burden on the NHS is £500 million!!!!! It’s not rocket science! It’s a no-brainer - Education is key to combatting the disease and SAVING

Wife getting MMR vaccine booster - isolate or not?
I'm an SLL patient, 55 years old, now about 2.5 years into remission after 6 FCR treatments. I just recovered from a recent (and thankfully mild) bout of shingles. My shingles was so mild that my GP wasn't convinced it actually was shingles! She had me tested for herpes zoster antibodies, and for good

Chose Cosmetic surgeon to check mole or wait 4 months for dermatologist?
How can I ascertain, whether the skin lesion at the ear lobe is indeed Basal Cell Cancer as suspected by dermatologist after visual and manual inspection of the area and referred me urgently because of somewhat unclear colour. So only 16 weeks wait instead of 2 years My private health insurance

Lauren detects skin cancer on her mother through undertaking the Masced course
“I have been in the beauty industry since 2017 and first completed Skcin’s MASCED Accreditation in Sept 2019 after delving into specialising in skin treatments. On 9th June this year I noticed a change in my mums mole on the back of her arm, everything about this particular mole looked alarming.

Advice please...
My fibro always gets worse in cold weather so bath soaks are my best friends at the moment, however, my boiler and heating stopped working few days ago, I called my housing association and they fixed the heaters, but for hot water I was told its not considered emergency as you can boil kettles of water

PBC and nails / gel polish / acrylic
hi everyone, just a quick question.. I wondered has anyone had any issues with having their nails done with gel polish. I had to switch from gel polish to acrylic as my nails kept having a reaction to the gel - and often developed a fungal infection. Once I switched to acrylic they were much better

nose rec onstruction
I recently had a successful procedure to remove an SCC from the right side of my nose. This meant that I also had about 50% of the right side also removed. I am waiting for 9 sessions of radiotherapy and when that is over and my skin has settled I then have to make a decision on future treatment: 1

Post AVR Op ocular disturbance/double vision
Humm, nearly two weeks post AVR surgery, doing amazingly well other than various bouts of Atrial Fibrillation, subsequently just started on Apixaban, this evening experienced one moment of double vision. It soon corrected its self but a bit disconcerting. May I ask if anyone else had similar experience

nodule in lung
Hi, hope you are all having a good day. I have been told there is a large nodule in my right lung. I saw the thoracic surgeon a month ago and he said the PET scan did not "light up" so the nodule is not growing. I am to have another PET scan in December. I was a smoker but quit 15 years ago. Also,
