Can Red Spot On Scalp Be A Symptom Of Skin Cancer?
I have a red spot on my scalp,I have had breast cancer, and lymphedema in my left arm, I see a lymphedema therapist.
She saw it on my scalp today and told me that I should tell my oncologist about it. can you get skin cancer on the
scalp? My husband checked my scalp and there is only one. and it is red. and it doesn't itch. Now I am really worried.

Hi
Yes you can get skin cancer on the scalp but those are usually black or dark brown and raised. Most likely this is totally benign but you need to have a dermatologist examine it
