If it continues to worsen go to urgent care and they can prescribe something/evaluate it that’s what happened for me and they put you on a derm list near you but it will take a while for them to reach back out unless it’s serious

There are a million things it could be before jumping straight into cancer. What’s making you worried?

Go to urgent care and get their opinion on if you should go to the hospital

So my family has a history of all diseases and cancers. I’ve had these “pimples” on my face since I was going to daycare and they heal but then come back. Recently they are stinging and not properly healing, I get so so many bad scars on my face. On top of that u can’t peel them they are smooth which is part of basil cell carcinoma, which is a cancer

They are circular and very red as well.

If you’ve had them since daycare, the likelihood of them being cancer is still very slim. I would see your primary care first and ask them to do an impression smear on them and then get a referral to a dermatologist.
