A member asked:
I was wondering how to tell the difference between skin cancer and eczema? i've never had eczema or a skin issue, but i recently found a single lesion

Lots of possibilities: Single lesions in dermatology can be a lot of things. Not typically eczema (which is a rash). If you have a lot of concerns, you can be checked. Until then, you can look at the size and if it keeps getting bigger, then show it to your doctor.
