A California woman developed skin cancer after getting a cut during a manicure. Now, she and her doctor are spreading the word about her ordeal as a lesson that speed and persistence in seeking treatment are the keys that make her type of cancer – squamous cell carcinoma — completely curable.
She put antibiotic ointment on the cut, but it didn't heal after a few days. Eventually, the skin closed and a darkened bump formed. It was painful. She went to her doctor, who said it was a"callus from writing," she told TODAY.com. But it was on her ring finger, which didn't seem connected to writing. Her doctor said to keep an eye on it.
