What does skin cancer really look like?



A raised bump with a crusty area or scab that never quite heals or goes away for two or three months? Could this be a boil?

Get it checked! It could be either but your best getting checked early. If it is cancer then you need it attended to as early as possible
talk to a doctor!

not to turn your tummy, but a boil looks more like a LARGE pimple.....usually red and warmer than the surrounding area....(because of the infection inside the lesion)..what you are describing doesn't sound like a boil to me....you should see a dermatologist so the area can be dealt with properly.....
Here is a great image of many different skin cancer lesions...
