I had a sore area last summer that was really tender at first, then just irritating, and then hard. My family doctor blew me off. Totally disinterested. So, I went to my dermatologist. She is a caring, intelligent person and she took me seriously. Step one was a biopsy. Step two was a steroid injection. The injection didn't hurt like she told me it would. The hard bump was gone within 36 hours. Thank goodness for health care providers who care and are competent.
