Is There A Connection Between Skin Cancer And Cervical Cancer?
I was told that I had black spots on my cervix resembling a mole. After the exam the dr set up a skin check- is there a connection between skin cancer and cervical cancer. Should I stop worrying about it? Does it really take longer than a week to get Pap smear results?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
There is no direct connection between skin cancer and cervical cancer.
But if moles are present on skin and cervical mucosa then if in future malignant melanoma can affect both. But possibility of this is very very rare. So no need to worry much for this.
And PAP smear is routine OPD (Out patient department) procedure. It will take maximum 1-2 days for report to come.
More then a week time is too much for pap smear report.
