What Are The Symptoms Of Skin Cancer?

I had a spot on my nose scraped for skin cancer testing. It was dark. after it scabbed and fell off I no longer can see the remaining dark color of the cancer that was left. It came back positive and I am scheduled to have the rest removed tomorrow. My question is: Is it possible for the remaining cancer to fall off with the scab as it healed when they scrapped it for testing? If so I really dont want to spend the money to have something removed if its no longer there. Thank You

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult oncologist and start treatment.
You are having nasal mucosal malignancy.
And it will not fall of itself.
If you don't take treatment, it will definitely spread in local area as well as distal organs.
So better to consult oncologist and start treatment. And surgical removal is infact good option. It will prolong the life expectancy.
I find this answer helpful
