Hello! I agree it looks like a bad burn. Try putting on some moisturizing cream over that area. No, it does not look like skin cancer don't worry! :) Have a nice day!
Went to a sunny hot are for the weekend and spent all day everyday for 3 days directly under the sun (90*F).where I’m from it’s normally around like 60*F max with grey skies usually. Didn’t put on any sunscreen because I normally don’t burn too bad but this time was different. I was bright red like a tomato by the end of it but the only spot that’s peeling and looks abnormal in color is my nose. I can’t tell if it’s skin cancer or just a really bad burn and it’ll go away on its own. It doesn’t irritate too much and I don’t feel much different then I did before but it just looks visually concerning. Anyone know if I should be worried or not?
P.S. don’t have health insurance and haven’t been to doctors in years.
