Is Having A White Flat, Smooth Surface Surrounded By Red, Smooth Surface On Nose A Matter Of Concern Considering Having Numerous Cell Cancers?

Hi, I have had numerous basal cell cancers and one squamous cell cancer. Now I am seeing a white, flat, smooth spot surrounded by an irregular red smooth area on my nose. Is this something to worry about? It does not look like anything I have had before.

Normally, this would not be a cause for concern as it is not the usual description of a skin cancer. It is more in favour of a localized infection. However in view of the multiple cancers that you have had, kindly see your oncosurgeon if the lesion persists for more than a week. He may need to do a biopsy.
