Hey guys, can you offer any insight into what this might be? It does not resemble any form of skin cancer does it? I am a hypochondriac concerning these type of things and I am worried. Please respond with some sort of insight about this.

Hi bigguy8979, the best thing for you to do is go see your own doctor to have it looked at. There is no way for us to tell whether or not it is something you should worry about. The fact is, you are worried about it already. And since now one can give you an answer with any degree of confidence, you would still be worrying even if we all thought is was nothing. Please, do not take a chance. Have your doctor look at it.

I would visit a dermatologist. There's really no definitive way you can tell, other than a biopsy, no matter whether or not the doc thinks it looks like it or not.
