Question : Hi, my name is XXXX. I have had a circular light brown spot with a white spot in the middle of the brown spot on my face for 3 or 4 months. Its circular in shape. No changes in color, shape, or diameter. It feels very smooth. It doesn't itch or anything. Its very noticeable. Do I have skin cancer?
