The size has gone down. What's left is a hard knot that is under the skin and the size of a large egg. It's a little discolored there. The skin in that spot dries out much more than my other skin and itches.
I didn't think too much of it. Like I said, it did get smaller. Since it won't go away, I did what everyone should
I called my doctor and left a message with the nurse. Then she called and said that I'll need to see a Dermatologist. Then the Dermatologist office was away for an hour lunch break. Than I called back and they said, "It sounds like a Hematoma. You should probably see your regular doctor." I said, "They referred me to see a Dermatologist." She said, "Did they see you first?" I said, "No, but that's what my doctor said over the phone." She said, Ok."
I had to give them my maiden name. I haven't seen this doctor since late high school I think. That might be an issue in itself.
Now I have an appointment to see my Dermatologist at the end of the month.
At least I can have him look at my moles while I'm there. I don't think they are an issue because they haven't changed at all. Since I'm there, I might as well. I also have a raised, tiny mark by my eye. I'm sure it's just from getting older, but I'll have him look at that to.

I would be a little concerned about it too... It is probably nothing to worry about but going and finding out for sure will help you sleep better.
If its not one thing, its another.... and you are still young. It doesn't get any better as we age.
I hate when Drs offices give the run around. My Doctor acts like I do witch craft so I am changing doctors to one who also treats conventional and herbally.
Hope everything goes smoothly. And that all is well. :)
This actually kinda scares me because I think I had one. It lasted for 9 months and I did nothing about it. I guess it's ok because I'm alive and it eventually faded away, but I had Texas on my upper thigh for all that time. I fell really, really hard into a vacuum because apparently I can't walk down stairs while carrying one safely.
I hope yours checks out a-ok though!
hope everything turns out okay...
keep us updated :)
It's always better to be safe than sorry! Good luck :)
Hey Hun,
I hope everything turns out well. Pls make sure you let us know. {{{Big Hugs}}}
I agree, better safe than sorry plus like you said, you have the benefit of having your moles/skin looked at as well. I remember the first time I had that done the Derma came in with these special glasses that allowed him to look realy close. I told him that even though they were what he needed to be accurate, they were still a bit creepy and nerve wracking to know he could see all flaws. Not that I should care, but I was nervous and talk too much when nervous. Cancer running in the family and much more had me running to the Dr like crazy for about two years!
And yes, a lot of times I laugh when hurt. (your other post title)
