Could this be cancer?!
Question: I have a redish patch on my ankle, it is not really a rash, and not a scar. I have an appointment with a dermotologist, but the earlyest appointment I could get is in 2 months from now. I had it for almost a year, but ti just recently started to itch/burn but not all the time. Also, I just noticed a little tiny red circle on my arm that is just like the patch on my ankle. Any one have any ideas on what it could be?
I showed my regular doctor and she told me to see a derm.as soon as possible.(but the soonest appt. I could get is in June) The mark on my ankle is about the size of an apple, it gets redder when heat is applied, the color and shape is uneven. I had it for a least a year and it never bother me until a few weekd ago.

I don't think that sounds like skin cancer. When looking for skin cancer you should always follow what they call the ABC signs:
The ABC's of skin cancer include any change or development in a mole or skin growth that should prompt you to see a dermatologist. These may include:
A- Asymmetry - You should notice the general look of your moles or growths, for example, if one half of the mole or growth does not match the other half.
B- Border Irregularity - If the edges of the growth are ragged, notched or blurred.
C- Color - The pigmentation of the growth is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown and black are present. Dashes of red, white and blue add to the mottled appearance.
D- Diameter - If the width is greater than 6 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser), it could be an indicator of an abnormal skin growth. Generally, any new mole growth should be a concern.
not sure however doesnt sound like cancer ... once again see your dem asap.
It doesn't sound like cancer. As all dermatological cancer types I know do not fit.
