Could the dry patch on the arm, pain in arm and shoulder be a form of skin cancer?
Patient: I just had a biopsy taken right forearm, results later in week. Forgot to tell dermatologist about small dry patch on left arm with pimple looking thing in the middle. Have had pain issues with that arm and shoulder, and wonder if it could also be a form of skin cancer. Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.skin cancer is rarely manifested on this way and it should be just followed up frequently. or you can have excisional biopsy or complete surgical removal if you have any doubts about it. Pain in shoulder can be casued by various conditions and most commonly this is arthritis or neuromuscular pain due to injury or muscle pulling.Wish you good health.Regards
