Brief Answer:
NO.....NO and NO

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these findings and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. Please, this is not skin cancer and is not a precursor to cancer development. It is an entirely different condition and managed is largely with steroid to reduce the inflammation and itching.

Please, be calm and relaxed about this. You do not have cancer. Though this condition may increase the risk of cancer, it is very mild. All that is required may be routine monitoring and nothing more.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services.

Brief Answer:
Cosrticosteroids!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Steroid creams are good treatment options. Others include anti histamines, retinoid, etc. Your doctor would make a good choice for you after discussions. This is really no threat and not an emergency and you should not be to hard on yourself and think this would not be resolved.

I wish you well and happy to address any further concerns if need be.
