I saw another post on this website a while back where someone was going to go to a Dermatologist about skin irritation because of where glasses were laying on nose rest & I have had the same problem. It itched all the time and had gotten to the point that it was like a warty feel but red. I went to a Dermatologist and they cut it off and biopsied it and it was precancerous and when I put them back on it continues to itch and another one starts getting elevated. I was just wondering if anyone has had the same thing happen to then since the last reporting on this forum ?

I think there is definitely something to this -- so many people get skin cancer or pre-cancer on or near where their glasses rest on their nose. I wear reading glasses constantly as I do alot of reading -- I recently bought new ones that are smaller and lighter and may not hit the same areas where I have problems.
