A woman in her 30s discovered that a pimple-like bump on her face was actually squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, reports NDTV. The growth initially seemed harmless but did not heal and changed over several months. Most pimples are benign, but any lesion that persists, changes, bleeds, or scabs repeatedly warrants a dermatologist’s evaluation. Early detection is key; untreated skin cancer can spread.
