Think its a wart, think again !

I went to the Dermatologist 1 week ago for my bi-yearly check-up. Several months ago a bump appeared on my forearm and steadily grew to resememble a WART. I tried to remove the 'wart' with OTC wart removal products, duck tape, super glue and finally apple cider vinegar. The only product that I was able to get the wart to respond to was the vinegar. The wart did shrink, and the center turned brown and fell out, leaving a translucent pie shell. In 3-4 days the 'pie shell' would fill itself up. I did this for 1 month until I could no longer stand the smell of vinegar and called the Dermatologist. I now have squamous cell carcinoma - skin cancer. The Dermatologist will be digging this thing out of forarm and my days of enjoying the pool are officially over. Fortunetly this cancer is not as deadly as Melanoma, but its is skin cancer all the same. Please be careful out there.
