A member asked:
I have a questionable growth (only few weeks ago noticed it) of 1/4" x 3/8" on my left forearm. is it really worth seeing someone about?

Maybe: The main thing to rule out is some form of skin cancer; and this is a sun-exposed area. Hard to know without visualizing the lesion. Sorry, wanted to let you off the hook, but I cannot.

Good evening doctors. I am on Plavix & 81mg aspirin. I seem to be extremely prone to purple bruises--three on my left arm now, one rather large one on the underside of my arm. How do I know if the bruises are or are not because of the Plavix& aspirin?
