yes, most skin cancers are described by patients as looking like a pimple. i would have it looked at by a dermatologist just in case. never hurts to be too careful. that way you won’t have to worry about it.

It’s definitely not skin cancer. Skin cancer usually covers an area larger than a pimple and usually shows up after a sunburn or prolonged exposure to the sun and it usually looks like a mole once the redness is gone. It may be just a buildup of oil and dirt that was not able to develop into a pimple because you irritated it when you squeezed it and if you are like I was when I had acne, you probably haven’t left it alone since it showed up. The best remedy is to take hot showers or if you have access to a sauna that is a great remedy for toxins building up under the skin. Besides that drink a lot of water and wash your face more than usual. If washing too often dries out your face just rinse with water and towel dry a few times a day. Good luck. And if you have no progress in a few weeks at least call your doctor.

Short answer: yes. Likely a cyst or some sort, but best get biopsy so you can relax or get it quickly treated.

it sounds like you need to have it looked at by a dermatologist. my mother had skin cancer on her face. she thought it was a pimple until it didn’t go away after a month. She has had it removed but it has come back several times. You need to have it looked at the sooner the better.

It might not be cancerous, it could be a benign or non cancerous mole— I have one on the side of my nose but it is very small but does bleed on occasion—-see a doc
