Red Skin Patches.
Posted: 11-07-06 19:14pm

About 8-12 months ago I noticed two small brown-red patches on my inner thigh-groin. I didn't think much of them and just sorta forgot about it. I was just keeping them under observation and they grew in size a little. Then a couple months ago I noticed some more red patches in my right thigh-groin exact opposite side, and they seamed to slowly grow and little red patches pop up around them and grow in size very slowly. Well I made an appointment with my dermatologist but he cant see me till dec21st so I figured I would post here with pics and see what you all thought. I am a little worried about skin cancer.



In this first picture this is the side where I noticed the two red patches one of them used to be directly below the dime and about the same size but has since nearly disappeared. The two smaller patches (right of big patch) just recently came up and the large one has been there for about 8 months.

in this second picture the small patches came up recently probably 2 to 2 1/2 months ago and have been slowly growing in size and smaller red patches pop up around them.

i don't get any sun in these areas and I don't tan in a tanning bed or anything.


I am haveing trouble getting the links to work so just go to www.Threedcg.Com and click on the avatar folder and the two pictures are there. Can anyone get these links to work for me?

I noticed very similar (if not identical) patches on my inner thigh one week ago. I have two one one side, two on the other. The skin surface seems normal, but the original pinkiness has changed to brown. They haven´t grown yet, nor have other appeared, yet, but I don´t like the look of them.
From what i´ve read on the internet they would seem to be good candidates for one of two rare skin cancers. I went to see my local doctor, and he seemed totaly unconcerned and gave me a cream to apply, which after just 2 days has done nothing.
I can´t find any type of skin fungus that would cause these, and the skin surface is normal, which might rule our eczema. I´ll let you know if I find anything useful. I have a web site which might be useful, with images of similar rashes.

Hi Johnny,

What I did notice on visiting http://www.threedcg.com/ Hernia_surgery/ was that I too had Hernia surgery and the very next day I noticed the first red mark on my forearm. Five months on and I've just noticed two more marks, another near my elbow and one on the back of my leg. I couldn't see any of your pictures but my marks/spots are red and raised and are not going away. No pain either but I'm concerned at our similarities

Is there some link to hernia surgery or is this just a coincidence? I'm going to do some googling!!
