Pimple that won’t heal could be skin cancer

EUSKIRCHEN, Germany -- Someone with a change in the skin such as a rough patch or pimple that will not heal should see a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Home remedies are not advisable as the change might be an early stage of non-melanoma skin cancer, according to the Euskirchen-based Professional Association of German Dermatologists (BVDD). Non-melanoma skin cancer develops most frequently on the body’s “sun terraces:” the face, back of the neck, arms, and men’s bald heads.

The disease is relatively easy to treat, if detected early. A dermatologist usually surgically removes the tumor, which, if still small, generally leaves no more than a nearly invisible scar.
