Q: Scary Black Lesion On Nose
asked by: grant151 on June 5th, 2007

Check the blackish lesion on my nose. It started as a red rash with small liquid filled bumps 4 days ago. It has been black and infected for three days. Is there any chance that a cancerous lesion could form out of the blue in three days? Will go to the doctor tomorrow. It is the color of this thing that scares me. Looks just like pictures of sarcoma that I have seen online.

Definatly Go!
You definatly need to see a Dr., better safe than sorry. My husband of 25 years passed away of skin cancer, nodular malignant melanoma, and believe me, I wished he would have seen the Dr. sooner. He has his lesion for years before I finally won and he went to the Dr., but by then, it was already melanoma. Yours could very well be early stage melanoma, so please see your dr. I have 6 children, five of which are blonde and fair skinned like my husband. I am diligent about checking their skin, and between them, they've had 4 positive biopsies and mole removals. Don't wait, no excuses!! Good luck...remember the earlier it's caught, the better the chance for successful treatment!!!
