Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I have a problem. I have been to four dermatologists. Only the last one told me I have melanoma. However, he wants me to put some very potent cream on may face, not just the area of concern, but my whole face. He spent about five minutes with me. Did not really look at my skin, I have other patches on my skin that have just started to show some rather strange things. I wanted to ask him some questions but he just left with his intern to go see someone else. I have been afraid to use the Fx? something Fluorourci/Hayluronate 4/0 1% Cream. For years I have cooked myself {sun worshiper). My daughter has been diagnoised with melanoma. I need to see someone who is interested in me and will take the time to really check me out and talk to me. Please help before it s to late.

Suggest Treatment For Melanoma
Hello, The treatment of choice for melanoma is surgical excision. You can go for a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, you can consult a plastic surgeon and plan for excision. It is better to do the surgery at the earliest to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
