Can wounds, scars, or bruises turn into SKIN CANCER? Posted: 04-11-07 13:23pm


I have fallen off my bike 8 days ago and I hurt myself - I have a few bruises, scratches and wounds that turned into scars - they're not healed yet. My question is: can these injuries, scars or bruises develop into skin cancer? Thank you

Skin cancer does not develop from wounds. Skin cancer may develop from massive scars after a long period of time.
