Specializes in General Practice

Exam!: Any lump on your body should be examined. Although it may be a benign growth, cancer is always a possibility. Regardless, the sooner you are examined & treated at a medical clinic the better. So please go to a medical clinic for an exam as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!
