What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Skin Cancer?

I have a tiny, round feeling bump under my skin on the back of my shoulder. A few years ago I was in Ft. Lauderdale and neglected to use sunscreen while jetskiing. Due to this stupid mistake, I also have procured some freckling on this same shoulder from skin damage. This lump is painless and for a while could only be felt when pushing on the area. I can now see where it is located, though it hasn`t changed in diameter. There`s no coloring or pain- only when pushing to try and drain it. Also, recently i have discovered on the front side of this same shoulder a U shape, very faint, red exema looking scratch (Im not sure how else to describe this new mark). Im starting to get worried about skin cancer. Im 18 and have no insurance so please help.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some dysplastic changes or hyperplasia. Chances of skin cancer is less likely at your age. Still you should go for biopsy of that lesion once. It will give you exact diagnosis whether it is skin cancer or some other lesion then you should take treatment accordingly. Treatment of skin cancer is excision followed by radio or chemotherapy according to type.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
