1. I have a dark spot on the sole of my foot which my GP says is nothing to worry about. He gave me some cream which hasn't worked and I am worried. What can I do?

2. I have noticed a small ulcer on the skin of my cheek which has been there for a few weeks and doesn't seem to be getting better. Could it be turning into a cancer? What should I do? What will happen?

3. I have had minor surgery for a squamous carcinoma of the skin of my left leg. The growth was just above my ankle. How will I know if it spreads to my lymph nodes?
