Looks difficult. skin cancer growth feel hard and rough. But better consult the doctor and get biopsy done. Best luck.
Types Of Skin Cancer
Skin cancers are broadly divided into two types. Melanoma and non-melanoma. Melanoma is the most deadly of skin cancers. The three major skin cancers that are diagnosed in almost all the cases are- Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Melanoma. All these cancers are named after the type of cell in which they begin. Thus Basal Cell Carcinoma begins in the skin cells located in the lowest layer of epidermis, which is called the basal layer. Squamous Cell Carcinoma develops from the upper layer of the epidermis named squamous layer and Melanoma begins from the melanocytes. Melanocytes are the cells that give skin its color.

Get a doctor to just take a look. I had a red dot on my arm, on a mole, and the doc sent me to dermatology, The dermatologist took a biopsy, it was malignant melanoma. I am recovering from the surgery now. I have been cured - no further treatment needed.

No, but you can do is take her to the doctor and explain in detail on what's going on and I can assure you that the doctor will give you results, whether they're good or bad.

Sounds more like a planters wart. She really should have it looked at. Most cancer is treatable only if detected early enough.

I don't quite know, but I hope your mom is going to be ok. The doctor will tell you.
