Brief Answer:
See Dermatologist, exclude imperatively squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,

This could range from a simple condition like an infection from a fungal infection to more serious conditions.

The fact that it has been there for over a year and it tender compels a formal exclusion of a particular type of skin canceerr call a squamous cell carcinoma.

I do not intend to make you weary. It could be a simple skin infection or condition. However, it is imperative to exclude this common skin carcinoma that generally presents itself as such. When excluded, other conditions can be easily managed and at any pace.

The opinion of your dermatologist in my opinion is highly warranted.

Thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

Brief Answer:
Excision, drugs and radiotherapy

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the follow up,

At an early stage as such, it shall be excised, specific drugs prescribed and depending on the stage, special x rays (radiotherapy) given to the specific area.

I do not think you need to be too weary at this point. However, it is prudent excluding serious conditions as such. This avoid late actions and for us to be rest assured.

No serious worries as such.

Thanks and kind regards,

My grandfather had skin cancer and my grandmother had breast cancer. I worry because it hurts when I scratch at it and it hurts to run a lufa over it.

Brief Answer:
You are right.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the update,

I would advice you not to be too weary. We are just trying to be on the safe side.

It is reasonable and safe in my opinion to exclude skin cancer at an early stage.

Some other thing can be dealt with conveniently.
