Could This Be A Wart Or Skin Cancer Should I Get A Biopsy?
Question: Hello. I wanted to ask about a pimple on my nose that is no actual pimple. I’ve had it for 4 years now. It appears sometimes red, sometimes pale and sometimes fully disappears. It bleeds when scratched. Could this be a wart or skin cancer? Should I get a biopsy? I am 38 years old and use sunscreen when outside.
Brief Answer:
Please upload picture
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
Please upload a picture in order that I can better evaluate it.
Taking count that it bleeds sometimes and gets inflammation I believe that it may need to get surgically removed . Biopsy may be needed also.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Thank you very much. I attached a picture. Do you know what this could be? Could it be just a wart? It hasn‘t grown in size since I have it.

Hello dear. I see the picture you attached.
It is a pimple and it doesn't seem anything serious.

Ok thank you. You said „I do think that this can be related to cancer“. Was this a spelling mistake?
So you think I could just leave it? What else could it be except a pimple, which it is actually not…
