Annoying spot under right eye

By the time my mum received treatment and only because she was already in hospital for something else, it was too late.
She died three days into the radiotherapy, after having been in denial l for over thirty years.
It is so easily sorted, if dealt with quickly.

No, not the chemist Milliefriend the doctor. As Marydoll says, it could be a skin cancer. One that can be quickly and easily dealt with. I hade an uncle who had this - and a cousin. All it took was a small operation and protecting there faces then on from direct sunlight.

On the other hand it could be something quite harmless.

You need to see a doctor Milliefriend. The chemist will probably direct you there. Anything like that needs checked by a doctor.

Glad you’re doing something about it. If the chemist says you should see the doctor about it, please do, don’t put it off.

Thank you all for your messages have asked HQ to delete the photo and will ask at the chemist as the first step

I agree with the others, not a good idea to put a photo on here. You could report your post and ask HQ to delete the thread.

You must be concerned, if you are asking on here.
You really should get it checked out if it bleeds. Few of us on here are qualified to offer advice, especially from a photo.
If you don't want to contact your GP, ask your pharmacist.

I am not trying to scare you, but mother had rodent ulcer above her eye, which she refused to checked out. Eventually, she needed radiotherapy on it, but by that time, it had spread across her forehead.

I hope you get it sorted out.

You should speak to a doctor, especially as it bleeds. It may need further investigation and they can advise on removal.

can't see it on that picture.
but anything like that should be checked by a doctor.
might not be wise to put your photo on here.
good luck.
