Absolutely TERRIFIED

HHi folks, I must say, it really hurts to have to join this forum.

MMy situation looks bad because what I THOUGHT was an ingrown whisker is obviously cancer. My nurse yesterday knew as soon as she saw it. She said unfortunately, the waiting line to see the dermatology doctor is around 2 months.

PProblem is, I assumed this whisker was just not healing and I have waited darn near a year and a half, maybe even 2 years before I got it checked.

MMy son freaked out when I sent him a photo of it. It looks like melonoma to me, he sent a PIC to cha GDP and it says it looks like one of the other 2.

II am 62 years old and live alone, lasnight was my first night with this horrible knowledge. I just took a PIC of it on this phone I will use for this forum, but I know it looks real bad. I am of course, hoping for support, and foods or meds over the country I should get. The nurse told me to get Aquaphor or some such, I did find it, she said put a thin layer on it, and she reffered me to Hyland detrmatology here in Cookeville, TN, I am waiting for them to call and setup an appointment for me, no doubt it will be a long wait and this has already Bern active for a long time. I feel really scared. I am posting the PIC I just now took, thanks so much for any support or advice.

It doesn't look like anyone even responded to this. I am sorry for your situation. I did that with my inner ear and found it was a mistake to wait. I am good now tho. Wishing you all the best and I hope, as I write this, that you have gotten in to see a doc.

I am hoping by now you’ve managed to have it taken care of.
