Yes: Possible basal cell cancer. Get in to see the dermatologist ASAP. Do not wait -- make the appointment and tell them what you experienced. You need to be seen soon. Good Luck.

See a dermatologist: If you're wondering whether or not your skin-care concern is something a doctor should examine and evaluate.
