What it may be am worried? Doctor: Hi ! Good afternoon. i am Dr Shareef answering your query.If I were your doctor, after doing a general physical examination of yours with special attention to the lesions described by you, I would go for some routine tests like a CBC, ESR, and depending on the physical findings would consider referring you to a general surgeon for a possible biopsy of the lesion for a histo pathological diagnosis. Further management would depend on the results of the physical examination and investigations including the biopsy.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
