A member asked:
About 2 years ago i had a precancerous brown spot removed by a dermatologist. what remains is white. could it still be cancerous? i think it's grown.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin lesion: The excised precancerous area likely lacks pigmentation, which may be why it appears white. If the site has changed in size, color, or irregularity of the margins, get an evaluation.
