I need advice.

[HippyInEngland]

I never ask for advice on here, ever.

I think I have a problem and I am asking for advice now.

This has been in the same place for about 6-7 weeks.

It scabs up slightly.

But as I shower daily it is often cleaned and just looks like a red blotch.

It keeps getting itchy and my thoughts are heading in the negative direction.

Here is a pic.

Do any of you here think as I do?

I don't want to throw you into a panic but I wld hve a doctor look at it...not so much that it looks like skin cancer but I wld not take a chance...my best friend had something similar and went in and had it checked out...he is glad he did because they caught it super early and his prognosis is great...he is a fair skinned Irish/German descent gentleman and the doctor told him he was wise to come in early on...

Not a doctor, a dermatologist, Hippy . Don't worry and please use the back door

HIE, I have gotten skin cancer a couple times. The spots we thought were nothing were bad and some of the ones that looked real bad, were benign. You can't fool around with guessing. See a skin specialist and have a biopsy done if they suggest it. IT is your life, after all.

 

[OldHippieChick]

I don't know what you think. It looks infected. It could be something as simple as a topical infection or it could be skin cancer. You are just gona worry till you show it to a doctor..... run-quick-now take care of yourself. Better to know than to wonder.

Well Art I wasn't recommending a Proctologist..... by doctor I meant dermotologist.....

:rofl: That might be his butt, Hamster lmao. If that's your butt, Hippy, Hamster is right - proctologist :hubba:

Not to worry you, Hippy, but I would get it checked out right off. Any chance it's a bug/spider bite? Does it hurt?

I'm sorry to say it, but it looks like an allergy to Lowlife AK47. It's best that you send me your seeds and pick a different strain :hubba:

I would try covering it with a bandaid and antibiotic cream..if it doesnt heal in a few days call a dr...

 

[SmokinMom]

I recommend getting a knife and digging it out.



Ok seriously I agree with 2dog. Some Neosporin and a bandaid. Might also try keeping it dry at all times, covering it up in the shower.

Get a doc's opinion, could be anything from a bad boo boo to alleregies to the big c word. If it's been there more than a week go see a doc about it. You could start with the proctologist but i would go a different route.

:holysheep: i hope that not on your jackhammer:rofl: a penicillin shot will prob do:shocked:

 

[zipflip]

psoriasis maybe?

[legalize_freedom]

I have no idea Hippy, but I agree with everyone else, if it's bothering you then just go get it checked. I hope all goes well for you!

 

[ozzydiodude]

If it has not clear up in 6 or 7 weeks it is time for a Doc visit.

 

[meds4me]

Take care of youre self and let us now what the doc thinks ? Meds ~

 

[Alistair]

I was thinking psoriasis too. Yeah, OHC is right, just go see the doctor.

Not trying to scare ya HIE, but...I have a friend who developed a small blister on the palm of his hand. He was a carpenter. I told him to go to the doctor. They did a biopsy. It took a lab 6 weeks to identify. Cancer...very aggressive form. Only known treatment was amputation. They took his hand, gave him chemo and radiation. Hes been battling this for 20 years. It has since spread to his lymph nodes. Now it just a matter of time.:confused2:

 

[Flyinghigh]

Hay Hippy, do you get little bumps before it starts to itch.?
If so I get them every freaken year because of Dry skin and I itch all the time intil they bleed and I use a lot of moisturizer and it Don't help and I just deal with it..
Yea I would go see a doc to make sure and as for cancer that don't look like any skin cancer I had either, I had that carcinoma basil cell cancer and had 3 of them and had cut 2 out and I dug the other one out and now I have a little hole between my eyes. Size of a bebe.. To much Sun.....

 

[Flyinghigh]

Have you been bitten by a spider.? some can cause those marks too.

 

[mojavemama]

HIE, I spent a couple hours on the web last night surfing all the skin cancer and skin eruption sites I could find. From the picture, I think it's just too impossible to know whether it's something serious or not. PLEASE do go to the doctors to be sure. We don't want anything to happen to you.
