Yesterday I went to the Doctor for want I considered a minor skin
irratation. For the past 2 years I,ve shaved my head, and thought it was
a razor rash, however my doctor believes its skin cancer and did a
biopsy.

Has anyone dealt with this.

My aunt did...She had it removed quite awhile ago and it hasn't come
back!!!!

She has to take extra precautions in the sun like making sure she is
fully covered and use prescription sunblock!!!!!


Good Luck...flowerforyou flowerforyou

shave their head.

Manwich, get a nice, spiffy cap for that pretty head of yours. Be sure
that the visor part is over your face not on the back of your neck.
Listen to Mama.

There are three basic types, basal cell, squamous and melanoma. You
most likely have basal cell which is from sun damage. It is cured by
cutting it out. I had one on the side of my nose removed several years
ago. You will need to use sunscreen to protect your head and face from
now on, any exposed skin. These actually develop from sun damage that
happened to your skin as a child. (I learned a lot about it when I went
through it.)

Good luck. Glad you caught it early.
