A mum was forced to have a chunk of her nose cut off despite doctors insisting it was just a 'spot' - after her dentist recognised it as cancer. Sarah Jones visited her doctor in 2020 following concerns the blemish at the end of her nose was not healing.

Sarah said: "I've always had really bad skin but I had a little dry patch on the end of my nose that would bleed and just wouldn't heal. I couldn't cover it up with makeup. I didn't think anything of it but then during lockdown, it would scab up then bleed, and then it would disappear then it would come back.

Sarah said she had used sun protection her entire life due to her lighter skin tone - but admits to visiting tanning salons in her younger years. Sarah was given the all-clear after undergoing an operation to remove the skin cancer on her nose at Chapel Allerton Hospital in Leeds. But the mum said she's been left with a 'visible dent' on her nose - and says she no longer recognises herself in the mirror.
