Original caption

The pathology confirmed my suspicion 👀 But before I reveal the diagnosis, drop your best guess in the comments! A hard white bump may look harmless, but when a growth is new, changing, persistent, or not healing, a biopsy can give us the real answer. This is especially important for patients with a history of skin cancer or internal cancers. Blood cancers and solid-organ tumors can sometimes involve the skin, so certain growths may need to be examined under the microscope rather than judged by appearance alone. See your dermatologist for any spot that is changing from month to month or has not healed after several weeks. #skinlesion #skingrowth #skinbiopsy #mysteryskingrowth #drsugaiskincare
