Specializes in Psychiatry

Can't diagnose with: This info alone. Encourage you to see your dermatologist to have this lesion assessed. While you are there - a good head to toe inspection of skin would be in your best interest. I recommend that my patients have a head to toe dermatology evaluation every year.
