A member asked:
Concerned about 1mm sore beside eyebrow that hasn't healed over a month. no change in size no scab. looks like red dot. can this be skin cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: A 1mm lesion is likely benign and represents either a blood blister, hemangioma or focal inflammatory/vascular extravasation from bug bite. Is it raised? Does it itch? It is very unlikely that a pinpoint red 1mm macule is cancerous. If you are worried, a visit to the dermatologist will give you the reassurance you need.
