Q: Small growth on hand
asked by:

I have had a small growth on my hand for a while now. It is about 1/4" wide and a little be more pale than the rest of my hand. It's been a while now, but I would have to say it's been there for around/over two years. Until now I dismissed it. However, I've noticed another much smaller growth about an inch away from the first one. I did some research and I'm afraid it may be some type of skin cancer.
I would really appreciate any opinion on the matter, as it has me quite freaked out.
I have a picture of my hand. The quality is pretty poor, but it's the best I can take at the moment. I'm hoping it might help a bit until I can take a picture of higher quality.
Perhaps this second one is a bit better?
Thank you.
