I've had a suspicious bump of skin next to my left nostril since late January. Thought it was a zit - still get them occasionally as an adult but Welbutrin for anxiety has been a magic pill to almost completely put a stop to any acne I'd get.
It's not gone away, getting it looked at in early April with my dermatologist, who I do yearly mole screenings with already. Worried a bit because it looks suspiciously like Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and the Internet is full of photos of what the surgery aftermath is like for that.
Any of you dealt with any skin cancer worries yet? I have 50+ moles around my body so my dermatologist has always had me in that high-risk category. I wish I could go back in time and tell my young college self "just because the apartment complex you live in comes with a free tanning bed membership doesn't mean you should use it." I made very few bad decisions when I was younger but doing that crap was the top of the list.
