              I took ippi 10mg. Had really bad rashes. Goat milk soap helps with that. 5 years later I’m doing well.

                        Thank you for your reply. Have a nice Christmas. Based on my previous pet and my current ultrasound the surgeon says nothing needs to be done. Its just a abscess. Also it has been going down almost back to normal looking.

                          Ultrasound revealed I had this same oval shaped structure with no vascularity 1 year ago according to a previous pet. Ultrasound said most likely a hematoma or abscess. Still have to talk with Dr. If they even want me to do anything since I had it all along.

                            I was a nervous wreck too. It’s ok to feel like that but try to get some help. I was given some meds to calm my anxiety. Listen you your doctors and if your passionate get it biopsy.

                              Derm said it felt like a broken cyst. Derm Lance’d it open to see if anything came out and derm said not much came out. When I did get home though it appeared alot more deflated and softer in general area. I had a ultrasound and will have follow up with surgeon just based on my history.

                                  Thanks for the reply. Did it go away on it’s own or with treatment.

                                    Your health is number 1. I believe you qualify for disability with that diagnosis. Im stage 3b but we have a family friend who was stage 4 but now is ned. That was 18 years ago and still going strong.
