A member asked:

Sore birth mark, is it a infection or cancerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeffrey Juchau answered

You need to have it: looked at. It could be neither one, just inflamed. Only way to tell is have it checked by a professional who may need to biopsy it. Good luck, don't delay.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed
