Red spot on your arm after being in the sun and unsure if it is Basal cell skin cancer What should I do?
Should I see a skin specialist
Should you be concerned if you notice a small bruise with a white circular middle that doesn't itch or bleed and could this be some form of skin cancer?
Anything is possible and you should see a doctor immediately to have it diagnosed. They will take a tissue sample to see if it's cancerous or not. Even if it is skin cancer is one of the cancers that is most curable. My friend's husband just had a minor operation on his hand (skin cancer) and it didn't hurt and all is well and should remain well, but when he keeps going in for his physicals each year his doctor will make more of an effort to check out his body for possible skin cancer. You could have Excema or Psoriasis, still, it's important to get it checked out.
What are the signs of skin cancer, and when should I see a dermatologist?

What kind of skin conditions should you see a dermatologist for?
You should see a doctor for skin conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, and chronic rashes.

Basically anything on the skin, which includes the scalp and feet, that is out of the normal is something that a dermatologist can handle.

Will you get skin cancer if you wear sunblock?
Maybe. Skin block provides protection from UV rays, which is a leading cause of skin cancer, but that does not mean you will not get skin cancer as there are other ways for it to form. People who work indoors, and expose their skin to the sun for extended periods of time tend to form skin cancer more often that people who are commonly exposed to the sun for moderate times.
