Yes, I've had itching, weepy drainage and lesions on my skin that just wouldn't heal. The first one was on one side of my forehead. I finally went to the doctor about it, but she was clueless, as most non-dermatology MD's tend to be. She told me it looked fine. The next time, she tried to freeze it off, but later it returned. She was leery of what the managed care watchdogs would say, so no referrals. Finally, I got better insurance and went to another doctor, who also said it didn't look like cancer. I then went to a dermatologist, who right away said it looked like cancer and afterward removed it. I've had MOHS surgery on all the basal cell lesions since then. I really need to find a better MOHS doctor...with the last MOHS I had recently, I was not impressed with the results. DD would prefer that I have any surgeries in Houston anyway, where she can send me to someone she trusts. I never have enough hats! They get old and fall apart sometimes.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
