I visited a dermatologist for the first time due to concern on my face and as suspected, it's skin cancer. He didn't explain any treatment options but only told me he would do minor surgery to remove it and he drew a diagram of how the slices would go and where the scar might end up. Why do you suppose he didn't offer any other method of treatment? I am thinking he gets more $$ from the insurance company for surgery vs. cream or laser removal. I will call tomorrow to his office and ask why I wasn't notified of other available options. But I still wanted your input. Thanks!

I've got these annoying bumps on my chest and lower back. They just developed around the beginning of the summer but they've been hanging around ever since. They look and feel like whiteheads, but they are hard and if i try to pop them, it just hurts really bad or bleeds. What are they and how can I get rid of them?

This morning I noticed than on squeezing one nipple, there is a tiny amount (really tiny) of yellowish discharge. I don't know if it is a sign of danger - if anyone out there has any experience with breast cancer diagnosis, could you clue me in as to what amount / type of discharge should be alarming? Or should I just zip off to my GP for more thorough examination? I am 25.

Obviously I know I should go see a doctor since I have some disturbing symptoms, but I'm wondering how long you can go between being infected with HPV and showing symptoms. I can honestly say that I have NEVER had unprotected sex, but about a month ago, I noticed a small bump, and now I've noticed a few more. I also haven't had sex in quite a while, atleast not that kind.. so I'm really quite confused as to when this might have occured (especially since I keep in contact with the majority of my sexual partners).

He lives with OLD grandparents alone. He sneaks out to play and doesnt care about med times ect. which tells me he is in denial. Grams told me about disease not him...also denial. He obviously is uncomfortable disclosing his illness. His grams would like me to discuss with him so I can make sure I assist with knowing his med times ect so to send him home if needed. I also want to help this sweet boy as much as possible to enjoy his childhood. I will know his med times ect but how do I deal emotionally as I will also need to inform my child and prepare him for what may come sooner than later. I want to be a sort of surrogate mom so he can be the YOUNG KID that he is and yet be informed enough to ease fears of the grandparents so that we can have sleepovers ect. I need all the help I can get with getting him to communicate and open up and accept and take responsiblity for his own health and to let him know we love him and will always be here. Please help me!
