Could this skin lesion be skin cancer, o
Hello doctors, M22 here, I'm looking for some medical advice regarding a small skin lesion on my hand. I'm particularly worried about whether it could be a sign of skin cancer. Here's what happened: Initially, I developed something that looked like a small pimple or boil on the skin between my fingers, near the web space. After approximately 15–20 days, it seemed to heal. However, I noticed that the skin on top had become unusually thick, hard, and rough. I thought it was just dead or dried skin, so I scratched and peeled it off with my fingernail. The area underneath appeared pink and raw. Eventually, it healed again, but I noticed something unusual: even after healing, the skin in that particular spot remained thicker and harder than the surrounding normal skin. Normally, when a pimple or minor wound heals, I would expect the skin to gradually return to its normal texture. However, this area still feels somewhat thick and hard. There is absolutely no pain.

Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning. Kindly schedule an online consultation with a dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment, prescription, and further guidance.”
