can skin cancer appear as a pimple?

Question

i went to the beach and got second degree sunburns and sun poisoning and yesterday when i fell asleep i woke with what appeared to be a pimple. it was yellow and pus-filled i assume and today it seems to have healed but it's dark and scaly red. i red somewhere that a yellow sore filled with pus, scabs over, and then fills with pus again is a sign of skin cancer, but i can't say for sure, so does anyone know anything??

Answer 1

What you posted above are not signs of cancer.

Go to your doctor it may be an infected pimple.

Answer 2

Skin cancer doesn't happen that fast. Sunburn is an actual burn, like you would get from scalding water of by touching a hot object. Burnt skin is damaged, and it has to flake or shed so the underlying new skin can be revealed. I often burn myself slightly on the rack when I put things in the oven. The mark starts out red, then turns brown and kind of alligator-y. After a while it peels off, leaving a slight mark for a month or two.

Answer 3

Skin cancer does not have puss, and it does not appear immediately after an expose (or overexposure). To detect skin cancer use the ABCD rule: Asymmetry is where if you imagine cutting it in half, any two halves don't have the same shape. Border, skin cancer has a fuzzy, somewhat indistinct border. The Color of skin cancer will be an odd, possibly changing color. Diameter, cancer will get bigger. A good way to measure it is carefully draw a circle around it with a marker, stay right on it's border. Next, measure it and take a picture with a coin or measuring tape next to it. Repeat in a week, 2 weeks,.......... and compare results.



You have a sunburnt zit.

Answer 4

Cancer takes longer than a few days. It takes years and years in most cases. You got a 2nd degree burn in spots and that is what the blisters are from.
