I had Mohs surgery, a bump formed on the site, please advise?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I have a dermatology question/concern.I had Moh’s surgery(all clear) on Jan 2 without stitches. On Jan 10 my surgeon said it was healing nicely. On Jan 22 a bump formed on the site. My question is: Is this the normal healing process without stitches? It is a bit worrisome. Surely the cancer couldn’t come back after only 20 days or could it. It stayed flat for the 6 weeks between the biopsy and surgery, and now there’s a bump after the all clear. Thanks

Developed a rash just below right corner of mouth, Please advise?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Developed a rash just below right corner of mouth. It started out with small rough bumps. I put rubbing alcohol on it and it caused it to dry out and open up. There is a small amount of clear liquid that came out. My glands in the right side under my jaw are swollen and sore as well. The area of the rash has slight swelling as well. Also, the rash has a minor tingling sensation, but not sure if that could be the neosporin I put on it. Please advise.

Experiencing a dull ache on the lower right side of my abdomen?

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I have been experiencing a dull ache on the lower right side of my abdomen. It has been around for a few years, and it comes and goes. It feels like a very dull pain, or a burning sensation. It doesn’t feel swollen. Touching the affected area doesn’t hurt, I really have to press on it to feel the pain. I don’t have a fever, or nausea. I provided a picture and marked where I feel the pain.

I have noticed that I get this ache when my menstruation is about to start. I’m due to begin any day. I’m just hoping it’s not something serious like appendicitis. Thank you.

Felt a sudden sharp pain in the front of my thigh at the very top, what is it?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am 56 yrs. old, female, and in decent health. I work hard every day, own my own business and am either waling or standing many hours every day. Yesterday about 3pm I was driving and felt a sudden sharp pain in the front of my thigh at the very top. It lasted just a second. Then it happened again just a second later. I felt it again once today about 3pm when standing at work. A friend suggested DVT and suggested I take an aspirin. I took one 325 mg. aspirin. About 5 hrs. later I felt it again, just once. I took two aspirin this time and am sitting down now. I had a hip replacement on that side 1 1/2 yrs. ago and when I was 17 yrs. old I had a blood clot in a calve from folding my leg at the knee and sleeping on it during a transoceanic flight. I am really nervous and don’t have a doctor. I live quite far away from any doctor and don’t know how to tell if its a muscle tear or not. I can’t really afford to see a doctor but if I do, what kind of doctor do I see. What do my symptoms sound like to you? thank you.

Wbc 2.6, auto neut 27.7, auto lymphs 16.4, auto mono 24.7, auto eos 0.4, abs neut 0.7, abs lymph 0.8, Ag ratio 1.0.
