A woman who thought she had a pimple on her nose was diagnosed with skin cancer. Michelle Davis, 52, spotted the red bump in April 2022 and thought it was just a spot until it became “really sore”.
She said the pimple would flare up and down but after she squeezed it and it wouldn’t stop bleeding she went to see her doctor. Her doctor immediately thought it was cancer and following a biopsy diagnosed Michelle with basal cell carcinoma – a common form of skin cancer.
Michelle underwent surgery to cut the cancer out and had the skin of her nose stretched to cover the hole it left. Now Michelle is recovering from the surgery but won’t need further treatment.
