I think I might have skin cancer
Ok so I had this weird pimple on the back of my neck a few weeks ago and then popped it. But then it grew, got crusty and scabby. I picked the scab and then got gooey and scabby again for 4 or 5 cycles of goo to scab.
I didn't think much of it until my wife said I should get it looked at - it might be skin cancer. Im like nahhhh...
The sore is still on my neck, then I noticed another one coming in a few inches from it. This one directly on the back of my neck. Exact same M.O. So I started doing a little research online and found this. The description was EXACTLY what I was experiencing. Freaked me out a little bit. So I have an appointment the first week of sept with a dermatologist. Hope everything is negative
Now, one thing I did notice while doing the research was that there was a high percentage of people who get skin cancer. They said up to 50% of Americans would get some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. I know there are forms that are worse than other like melanoma, etc. But it still is weird to think that I might have skin cancer...all before I'm 35
I don't want to get too worked up over it before I even know that it is for sure. I will let you know how the appointment goes.
wish me luck

Thanks Lonnie. Surprisingly I'm really not that worried about it. It just seems weird that it's possible. If it is cancer, Im sure they will just cut it out and tell me to wear sunscreen for the rest of my life.
