A mother has been left with a gaping hole in her chin after dismissing a sign of deadly skin cancer for a blackhead.
Kari Cummins, 35, saw a dermatologist after years of over exposing her skin to sunlight and tanning beds.
Despite noticing a strange mark on her chin, Ms Cummins, from California, dismissed the growth as a spot.
Yet, numerous tests revealed she had squamous cell carcinoma; a type of skin cancer that can spread to the organs if untreated.
The growths were removed, however, Ms Cummins was left with a hole the size of a two-pence piece in her chin, which required 35 stitches.
