Sore that won't heal: What are the warning skin cancer?
Sores that will not heal.

A 26-year-old female asked:
Saw doctor he pressed on and around my temple very firm and it has felt quite pressure and a bit sore since can he do damage?

Dr. Milton Alvis, jr answered

Yes, yet unlikely: because it would likely require enough pressure to break your skull to do any significant damage. The far bigger issues: What is going in your temple area and, to a very minor degree, exactly where pressure was placed by what method. These 2 issues combined with mind/brain perceptions of "soreness".
