Look for: If your dad lost consciousness or has some memory blanks for the accident sequence, he may have experienced a concussion, but this would clear rapidly. Sometimes these injuries can cause chronic headache, and very rarely, associated with some memory and organizational challenges. Dizziness can be also associated however, if actions normal both emotionally and cognitively, do not worry.

I had a sudden mole show up on my smallest toe, I'm not sure how long it's been there but I would say pretty recently. Within a few months. I have pictures of it. Problem is I can't see a dermatologist around here for at least a month or more.... Is there anything I can do in the meantime? My dad has/still has melanoma spots show up all the time so it is concerning to me. Brown center slightly raised bumpy area in it/tanish red outside of that very irregular border. Mole on toe?
