Hello and welcome to HCM,

In India you will have to look for a specialist who can take care of gastrointestinal problem, skin problem and naso-lacrimal problem.
Thus, you will need to look for a gastroenterologist, dermatologist and an ENT specialist.

The naso-lacrimal cancer has been surgically treated.
You have not mentioned whether the melanoma has been treated or not.
Melanoma will require surgical excision of the lesion.
If the duodenal biopsy is positive for Helicobacter infection, anti-microbial treatment against H pylori will be required.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
