Ouch!

I normally wouldn't send pictures of my leg over the internet, but I thought that maybe it would be a post to make people aware. I had this thing on my leg that looked a lot like an ingrown hair. It was a bump that was raised and a reddish-pink color to it. I also had some sort of lump in my hair. So Jason suggested that I go to a plastic surgeon to have them removed since they were still growing. The thing on my leg was called a Dermatofibroma. The doctor said that if you don't get them treated within a reasonable amount of time, they can become cancerous. All I could think was that this thing had been on my leg for a year now and needless to say, I was a little bit nervous. The good news is that I just got back the pathology on it and it is benign. But it could have been a different story if I had waited on it longer. The scar is healing nicely now.
