Answer:
you def. need a second opinion. DId your dermatologist do any tests or did he just guess? It might not be cancerous because usually those bumps dont go away like urs have. Maybe it is some other skin problem that needs treatment.
I would:
1. go to another dermatologist and tell them what you told us
2. go to a cancer specialist and get it throughly checked outRemember, they might not be able to tell you why it happened, but they should KNOW what it is and how to get rid of it. And it hurts? You really need to tell them that
Skin cancer doesn't appear and re-appear, typically. Once it has a hold of you, it doesn't let go. It does sound like you need to have that looked at by a better doctor.
Your dermatologist doesn't sound like he is explaining everything to you. You need to know your options. Can you have it removed and if so how much will insurance cover. Ask your primary care physician for the name of another dermatologist. Preferably a woman.Go to see her with a list of questions and write each answer down. Sometimes we get overwhelmed at the doctors and forget some of what they said.
Your question is for a medical specialist and not for a site such as this, as its hard to tell when answers are posted if the poster has any relevant medical qualifications.As with any doctor / patient relationship you are entitled to another opinion, go and get one.
The only qualified person you should listen too is a doctor. If you suspect something is wrong, go to your original doctor and explain the symptoms. If you feel uncomfortable with the answer then get a second opinion from another doctor. If you still feel uncomfortable get a third opinion. But keep in mind if all 3 say the same thing...that will need to satisfy your worries. Good luck!
