If that concerned you’d have probably taken a clearer picture

Don't take a chance. I procrastinated for several months having a spot on my upper arm checked. Ended up having a chunk of flesh 1.5 by 1 inch cut out. Now I get checked every 3 or 4 months.

Basal cell carcinoma is common and easily treatable if caught early enough. I almost waited too long.

That’s not true. Skin cancer can be in any shape. From what I can see I would say it’s not a melanoma because I don’t see any dark pigmentation in it. If it’s something new I would go and get a biopsy on it. I’ve had 14 melanomas removed since 1982. All were in different stages from just having it removed and also one that I caught to late and had to have chemo. Also countless numbers of other types of skin cancer.

Looks similar to skin cancer my wife had 2 years ago. No joke. Get it checked out.

Actinic Keratosis. Go see a dermatologist.

I’ve been doing derm for almost 10 years and I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but the chances of it being basal cell carcinoma are high enough to where if I saw that in clinic, I would definitely have it biopsied. There is also something called an amelanocytic melanoma that doesn’t contain pigment clinically, although those are a lot more rare. Just my opinion(although it is what I do everyday) get it biopsied

Could be a basal cell carcinoma. That’s not a big deal, but you should get it looked at.

Basal cell carcinoma

Here’s what’s going to happen. The dermatologist will take a biopsy and they will tell you that it’s Basal Cell carcinoma. Hopefully, the biopsy will get most of it but they will either take a chunk out of you to get it all or perform Moh’s Therapy to take as little as necessary. You’ll start going to the dermatologist every 6 months for full body screens.

Make an appointment ASAP and get it out of the way. Maybe it’s nothing.

I’m not joking at all. We cut off several BCCs a day. They usually aren’t a big deal. Especially on the leg. Scar will be minimal. Rates of metastases are extremely low, if in fact that’s what it is. Just needs a little biopsy. Literally takes 45 seconds to actually do the procedure and doesn’t hurt. Depending on where the OP is, I can help him out.

I hate mohs surgery. I’ve had that done twice. I would rather get a chunk taken out with good margins

Mohs surgery has the highest cure rate but I do understand the time it takes and the repair can be a bit overwhelming. It’s a good option for a lot of skin cancers.

I don’t always have medical inquiries, but when I do I take them to the internet...
