Question 1

http://i39.tinypic.com/2i0x5vs.jpg i have a growth.  i would like to have it removed.. i hope you can tell me what it is and if its safe to remove?

Accepted Answer

can be removed: To sent to pathology to find out what it is.  See primary care doctor or dermatology.

Question 2

i have a growth on my face, noticed 9 months ago, should i have it removed?

Accepted Answer

Exam!: It's very difficult to say without an exam &amp; possible biopsy what the growth may be. I suggest an exam at a medical clinic as soon as possible where a biopsy may be done. An infection or skin cancer are among considerations for this growth. The sooner the growth is properly diagnosed &amp; treated the better your chances are for a cure.  I wish you well with your health!

Question 3

please help! what is the surgery procedure called that removes the boney growth i know the first word is alveo?

Accepted Answer

Alveoloplasty: This is trimming and smoothing of the bone around your teeth.

Question 4

how can i remove flesh growth that are similar to warts and how much can it cost or is it covered by medical aid?

Accepted Answer

Seborrheic Keratosis: A seborrheic keratosis usually appears as a brown, black or pale growth on the face, chest, shoulders or back. The growth has a waxy, scaly, slightly elevated appearance. Occasionally, it appears singly, but multiple growths are more common. Seborrheic keratoses don't become cancerous, but they can look like skin cancer. Cost depends how many are removed.

Question 5

how can molluscum re-appear after all growths have been eliminated (perhaps from a towel when i was infected??)
person to person contact ruled out..

Accepted Answer

Recurrent molluscum: Probably you didn't catch it again; more likely your previous infection has recurred. It takes the immune system several months to become fully effective against the molluscum contagiosum virus, and new lesions can reappear for quite a long time. Eventually it will stop, however. In the meantime, see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist, for treatment advice.

Question 6

i have bone growth in my shoulder, how can this be removed?

Accepted Answer

Eval: A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

Question 7

i have developed a growth on my chest over the past 2 months following a severe sin burn. should i have it removed?

Accepted Answer

Growth on chest: First please find out what the growth is.  Your doctor will let you know.  If it is a keloid you may not need to have it removed unless you want to for cosmetic reasons.  If not a keloid it certainly needs to be identified and treated.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

i had a small growth removed and i was told to put neosporin on the area but i had an allergic reaction how do i get it to heal properly?

Accepted Answer

Neomycin allergy: Bacitracin, or Double Antibiotic ointment is an over the counter option for people who have neomycin sensitivities ( the most common culprit in Neomycin). Otherwise, washing twice daily with hypo allergic soap and water and keeping the wound covered should help prevent infection.

Question 9

i've been injecting forteo since 10/31/14. today i had precancerous growth removed. should forteo be discontinued. only have osteopenia,  failed fusio?

Accepted Answer

Precancerous: Unlikely to be caused by Forteo but needs very careful evaluation by the doctor who prescribed this.

Question 10

i have a growth inbetween my bum cheeks and its itchy and quite big now, i have tried some ointments like mylocort which helps with the itch but it has grown now. do i need to get it removed, worried about it?

Accepted Answer

External hemorrhoid: Looks like external hemorrhoid.
I would suggest sitz bath daily for the next 5 days
Continue proctosol ointment
Tucks pads. It usually gets resolved in 3-4 days and if not then it needs to be surgically taken care of.
