I Have a Real Problem. Yellowish Spots Increasing Everyday?

April 14, 2013
Asked By:Notasunworshiper

I've seen these yellowish spots that are increasing every day. They have red areas around them and looks alot like skin cancer. They started appearing on my face in Feb. And I'm uninsured. I've called everybody and every agency. What can I do? I'm scared. Can skin cancer spread like that all over my face. If this is skin cancer. They will have to remove most of my face. I'm very scared. What do I do? Help!
