Woman diagnosed with skin cancer after covering spot on nose with concealer for months

A woman who covered a spot with concealer for many months has been given a shock cancer diagnosis. Michelle Davis from New Zealand first spotted the red pimple in April last year and believed it to be just a spot.

That was until the 52-year-old realised how sore the pimple was, claiming it would flare up and down. She decided to squeeze the spot but as it began to bleeding and didn't stop she visited the doctor to find out more, reports Wales Online.

The GP immediately thought it was cancer and diagnosed her with basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer, after a biopsy, with Michelle being forced to undergo surgery to cut the cancer out.
