Fibroma removal Posted: 09-17-08 15:04pm
I had a funny looking "bump" that appeared
on my shoulder...I've been disabled for
about 11 years now so I don't spend much
time out of doors (time in the sun)..I'm a
redhead,fair skin, freckles...once this
year incurred a sunburn from riding with
the sunroof open on a long car ride...at
any rate..It honestly looked like a
pimple..of course I picked at
it..nothing..hard ...similiar to an
ingrown hair, like a "core" in the center
of it...what my GP initially thought till
he touched it...then he said..No that has
to come off...so he did a fabulous
job..and when he removed it..it "popped"
right off..great!! Went in for other test
results and he told me there were
cancerous cells present in the Fibroma
(what he referred to it as) and he
referred me to a Dermatologist. He said
typically with Fibroma's..there is a gooey
like substance when removed..this was NOT
the case when he removed this one...so
I've made the appointment...that's three
weeks out...has anyone else dealt with
something like/similar to this ?? My
sisters both have more olive skin and are
"moley" so they've had a number of Moles
removed....
I'd appreciate any info if you've had a
similar situation!
Thanks!!
