[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I just noticed this on the back of my hand. I thought I may have bruised it, but upon closer inspection it looks a little more. It's about the size of an eraser head. What do you all's think? -----signature----- You're Right ~ Koneg He's [Manegarm] like the Fred Phelps of atheism. ~Bubbledude many of you are in the Republican boat, aka the ship of fools. ~Modeeb We are here on Earth to fart around.

	IMHO, it may be superficial basal cell carcinoma, which is very, very common. It's not very aggressive. The skin of the hand is a fairly common area to find superficial basal cell carcinoma, as it tends to be exposed to sun a lot relative to other areas of the body. It's also found about the face quite often. If I'm correct, it's not a huge deal. Trace a line around the border of the lesion and keep it protected with a band-aid or some tape. Pay attention to whether or not it progresses outside of the trace. Also pay attention to color change from the pinkish-redish hue to a brown color. Or go to a dermatologist. Or cut your hand off. -----signature----- "drive a SUV and have a Apple straped to your azz" - Blue_Arrow "You guys know that I love homosexuals." - GrilledCheez

	The basal carcinoma type is red. Yours doesn't immediately strike as cancer and you're probably fine. See if it goes away and/or talk to a dermatologist. It runs in my family so I'm always on the lookout. *so slow.. -----signature----- http://www.fairvote.org/reforms/

	eodoll posted: Could be: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keratosis_pilaris Its not skin cancer, skin cancer is not pink and it doesnt come in pimply little clusters. There is more than one type of malignant neoplastic skin lesion. Some present as pink or red. This is absolutely a truth. I've seen multiple presentations of BCC that presented as pinkish or redish lesions. There are various factors that influence how a superficial basal-cell carcinoma will present. I've seen keratosis pilaris as well. Usually multiple lesions that are relatively diffuse in comparison to IMHO's picture. Regardless, many things are possible. Edit: IMHO, I forwarded that photo to somebody. Can you take another photo from a few inches further away and with better light? And possibly with a centimeter ruler along side the lesion? Also, is it accompanied by any pain or itchiness? -----signature----- "drive a SUV and have a Apple straped to your azz" - Blue_Arrow "You guys know that I love homosexuals." - GrilledCheez
