A member asked:

Do people ever get skin cancer on the head that goes away?

Possible: If it was even a skin cancer in the first place. The body can do amazing things.

Skin cancer : A skin cancer typically does not go away on its own. Certain melanomas demonstrate regression (a white scar area where the typically darker melanoma was). See a dermatologist for any suspicious spots or growths.

Hi! I was just wondering.. I've been having really painful headaches. But they get even worse in the far, bottom left part of my head. I had cancer when I was 12, and it was blood cancer. I'm worried, but don't wanna seem like a hypochondriac?
