Is it a Precancerous leasion on my face?
So I've had this mark on my face for a few years
now. I've included the link below to see the spot. I'm worried it might
be cancerous or precancerous. it's sorta rough in texture. it seems to
have gotten larger but not sure. i've been using proactive and perhaps
that has irritated it. i think it use to be more brown or tan in color.
i've heard of this disease called Solar Keratosis which are
precancerous spots do to sun exposure. or could it be harmless like
eczema or dry skin patch of some sort. it's only one spot and it never
seems to go away.

Took a peek, and yes, I would definitely get it seen by a dermatologist and rule out a pre-cancerous lesion. They can continue to grow at varying speeds and then begin to move to the next developmental stage, becoming more of a risk of a diagnosis of skin cancer.
