It had been there for a couple of years, same side as radiotherapy, and it decided to erupt, literally! The blood poured out, at heartbeat rate, a very pretty artery-coloured red! After 4 days of on and off bleeding and having problems finding doctors at almost Christmas time, I finally found a dermatologist who cauterized and stitched me up. The biopsy came back OK, but the spot appeared to be from "sun damage", cheilitis. I assume the radiotherapy was the culprit?
