A woman knew she needed to go to hospital after looking in the mirror
Lianne Jackson was a skin cancer nurse and her worst fears were realised after she noticed a strange white spot on her cheek that refused to go away. The tiny spot looked nothing like the dark, lumpy moles most people associate with skin cancer - but luckily, Lianne years of experience as a skin cancer specialist at Arrowe Park Hospital in Wirral caused her to look twice at the seemingly innocent blemish.
She said: "It was a little white lump. It looked like a milk spot. I said to my doctors I thought it was skin cancer under my eye, and they said it was unusual at my age. We kept an eye on it, and it grew a bit more.
