Suggest Treatment For A Small Pimple On The Nose

I had a pimple on the side of my nose, it showed up two weeks ago I popped it went away then came back but smaller, I do break out from time to time. It s going away now but did crust over. Today there s a round darker coloration on the tip of my nose maybe as round as a pencil eraser looks like ring work but I m sure it s not that. Any idea if this could be related to skin cancer? I am very fair skin as well. Do these rashes related to skin cancer itch cause pain or just discoloration?

Dear friend,

i don't see any possibility of cancer in your skin problem description. It's just the end result of your scratching and manipulation of the pimple like lesion.

so don't worry.
Skin Cancer is usually ulcerative lesion,expanding ,bleeds on manipulation, and long lasting history e.g.few months /years.it can occasionally itch or pain but mostly it's asymptomatic

Still you can post images to me to clarify what exactly it is (drraseshpatel@gmail.com)

thank you
