I Have A Small Red Blotch Or Sore On My

Question: I have a small red blotch or sore on my chest that has been there for a few weeks and is not going away. Now it itches. It doesn't bleed, etc. nor does it have a scab on it. Are there any skin cancers that itch? I have a dermatologist appointment at the end of this month.
Brief Answer:
Cancers don’t itch usually
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and cancers usually are not associated with itching.
If could be either seborrhoic keratoses or some vascular growth.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
