Could A Raised Gray Spot On The Buttocks Be A Sign Of Cancer?
Question: I went to the gynecologist today and he found a raised grayish spot on the inside of my butt check about the size of a silver dollar. He did a biopsy to determine if it is precancerous or cancer. I was kind of in a daze after hearing this and remember he said it could be skin cancer but I do not remember the other types he mentioned. Do you know what other types it could be?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and health concerns in detail ,
A rash is any area of irritated or swollen skin on your body. Rashes are often itchy, red, and painful. They can also lead to:
bumps
blisters
fluid leakage
scaly, crusty skin
Skin rashes are usually symptoms of underlying problems, such as viral and fungal infections, or allergies.
Most butt rashes clear up on their own, but some last longer and may require treatment. Read on to learn more about rashes that can develop on your buttocks.
Other types could be-

The rashes you mentioned do not require taking a biopsy to determine precancerous or cancer type. I asked what type of cancers could be found by a biopsy in this area.
Brief Answer:
Can be squamous or basal cell lesion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The skin lesions that can be detected by biopsy in the area of butt are superficial squamous cell carcinomas or basal cell carcinomas. This can be a benign lesion also like actinic keratosis or seborrhoeic keratosis.
Hope my answer is helpful.
