See dermatologist: A dermatologist is the best person to see regarding unusual skin findings where there is a concern for skin cancer. Allergies tend to be red and itchy while skin cancer is usually not. Allergic rashes will respond well to treatment for allergies, while skin cancer would not. However, a close look (and sometimes a biopsy) are needed to confirm skin cancer.
