Question 1

dad docs said he will clean the liquide that spread to liver with machine, he is itching + the old symptomes of pancreas cancer how he will  be treat?

Accepted Answer

Does not sound: a proper treatment. Please get a second opinion, as what yo have described does not fit with any recognized treatment for treating pancreatic cancer or liver disease.

Question 2

does pancreatic cancer cause itching?

Accepted Answer

It can: If cancer blocks bile duct connection to bowel you can have elevated bilirubin (jaundice) which can cause itching.

Question 3

22yr oldmale softyellowstools, upper abdomen/back pain,itching - blood test ultrasound,hidascan,all normal,fear of cancers?am in fear! help docs !!

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Any history of jaundice (yellowness)?  Any history of hepatitis exposure?  For your doctor to order the above tests, you must have some other symptoms? Any history of gall bladder disease?  I suggest a discussion with your physician and a chance to develop a plan for further investigation.

Question 4

do skin cancers ever itch? my back itches a lot and i can't see it

Accepted Answer

No.: The most scarry part of skin cancer is: no itch, no pain, sometimes, not even irritating!

Question 5

my scalp itches a lot and i scratch until it bleeds. i take off the dry blood when it dries . can i get cancer from that? i need advice please !

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Is there a specific place that bleeds or it's generalized?
Can you see anything on the skin?
It can be anything from a fungal/parasite infection to a skin condition- psoriasis specifically, less likely cancer.
You definitely have to abstain from scratching since this is feeding in the condition.
Ultimately, consider letting your PCP examine your scalp.

Question 6

hi. i have a mole on my back that is raised, black and brown and sometime itches. im worried as a few of my family members have cancer.

Accepted Answer

ABCDEs of Melanoma: The abcdes of melanoma are:a=asymmetry(one half unlike the other half), b=border (irregular, scalloped, poorly defined border), c=color (varied from one are to another), d=diameter (while melanomas are usually greater than 6mm they can be smaller when diagnosed), e=evolving(change in size, shape, color).Hope this helped :].

Question 7

pinched what i think was a mole. top layer came off. bled. skin half an inch away from it itches. what could be causing it? cancer? irritation?

Accepted Answer

Healing: Normal healing will cause itching for a limited time. If this was a mole it will help to take a picture of it now and monitor in time. If any significant change in size or color seek medical attention for further instructions.

Question 8

please help. white thing in anus. it hurts so and burns and itches. could it be colon cancer? what do you think it is?

Accepted Answer

Need physcial exam: If you're having this much pain and discomfort, you really need this examined in person. From your description, this is most likely an anal condyloma (genital wart). And given your age, it is very unlikely that this is malignant. But without seeing the lesion to know size, shape, color, location, etc., we can't give you a definitive answer.

Question 9

pink spot on thigh that is very dry only itches if i touch it. when i rub over it i can feel it's a little raised. hoping not skin cancer ?

Accepted Answer

See your derm: Any new skin lesion or one that is changing should be brought to the attention of your friendly dermatologist. While skin cancers in 25 year olds are not common it does happen occasionally.

Remember to protect your skin by limiting your exposure to UV radiation and when you are out wear sunscreen and cover up as much as possible.

Question 10

i have a mole on my left breast that itches scabs peels and then heals over and over again. are there any causes other than cancer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It sounds like you are scratching off a benign mole. However, to be safe, you should visit a doctor to be certain.
