just noticed this yesterday......was a bit itchy so that's really the only thing that made me notice....close to my wrist on the side of my arm. flat, not raised, not red but looks a bit flaky or dry when no lotion on it. what could this be? could it be cancer?
anyone else start with this symptom? and what was it? does a biopsy hurt?

My Father in Law had this on his arm, it was in the same spot except on top of his arm. His was a scab that would not heal & it ended up being skin cancer.
Maybe it is exzema?
