GET TO A DOCTOR

See a dermatologist today (911). Do not play with this have it checked out. And make sure you see a good one. I had a lump on my head for over a year and I went the three dermatologists at VA in Tampa and told me it was nothing. Well I saw a dermatologist on the outside and my nightmare began. It was Melanoma and you do not want this. Get help right away. The faster the better. I hope it is nothing but it best to be safe than sorry. Jack

I agree with Jack..........could very well be a swollen gland or it very well could be something. Best to get it taken care of than to let it go and it spread..........Please have thsi looked into!
