Do i have skin cancer ? ?


yesterday i have suddenly got this patch on my face around my mouth which is flaky, crust,painful and really itchy. i have been putting some E45 cream on but i dnt know if it will work. i looked it up on the net and most of symptoms match. and im only 15. what could it be ? can you die from it ?

thanxs

Most likely not

Not everyone has perfect skin 100% of the time, stuff like this happens

Chill :)

It SOUNDS like you have eczema on your face, before you go down the cancer road (which is highly unlikely) there are more common problems this could be, pop along to your GP, he'll likely prescribe you with a topical cream. It could also be something you have reacted to, have you used a new face cream etc?

i doubt it not at your age, in younger people, skin cancer is usually from a growing or itchy mole, only older people have scaly itchy patches which when they fade leave a red mark, if you are worried then go to your gp

Are you especting to fine the PROFESSIONAL you need here??????

Go to the hopital and see a Professional!

Could be impetigo - see your GP for a diagnosis if you are worried or it doesn't clear up.

doubtful try calling the nhs helpline
but if you are worried go to casualty

you really shouldnt be asking qustions like that on here. you need to see a proffessional
