Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you have an area on your skin that is concerning to you, then you can consult a dermatologist (doctor specialising in skin care).
If the dermatologist agrees that there is the potential risk of cancer, he or she may take a biopsy of the area.
This would identify if there are any cancerous changes.
I hope this helps
