A member asked:
Is it not skin cancer if the skin that is sore eventually begins to heal and vanish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If a sore on the skin, heals by itself, it is not cancer. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
