What Could Be The Confirmatory Test For Skin Cancer?

My friend Andy has been told by his doctor that he has skin cancer on his hands over the phone from his doctor who has not even seen his hands yet by the dermatologist. I am concerned as a very good friend that the diagnosis is incorrect. Can you please advise

I understand your concern. Do NOT blow this off or ignore the doctor; however, He will need to get a skin biopsy in order to definitely confirm skin cancer. Ask him to see a doctor for evaluation and determination for the need of one.

Hope this helps.
