Apple Watch Causing Skin Cancer/Burn

I have this spot on my wrist that looks similar to squamous cell carcinoma. I am a nursing student and am able to clearly tell what this is. The spot is located where my Apple Watch Series 3 watch sits daily and has now been on my wrist for 7 months. I looked into this online and noticed other people have the same burn/skin cancer mark where their Apple Watch was sitting. What can Apple do to fix this issue? I have a permanent mark on my wrist from one of their products and I am unable to email them directly.

Yes, other people have allergies. A lot of the human population has some kind of allergy.

Here are the materials in the Apple Watch. Take this to your doctor and get checked to see if you are allergic to any of these materials. Also take your watch with you so the doctor can check it out.
