I have scars from it, but a few days ago, I got another really bad burn, and it again blistered. Yesterday I noticed that the blisters were gone but there's a large pink scaly spot on my shoulder where it was. Is it possible for skin cancer to appear that fast, and should I have it checked out?

I did not think much about it but now I am concerned because it is asymetrical and a litte red on the edges, should I go back to the derm? Hi,

The other pigmentation went away but there is one left and it is so itchy and scaly and I'm wondering if its a skin cancer because it looks like one of the picture above.

I am in the sun all the time and that's why I am really concerned this could be cancerous. Is there any type of skin cancer that is pink and scaly looking? thank you Hi, I’m 17 and recently I’ve noticed this small scaly looking spot on my upper thigh.
