I have a couple of moles on my side that I’m concerned are melanoma because they’re scaly, have tiny black spots and bleed. I had melanoma on my arm removed 2 yrs ago so I have a history of it. Today I saw my dermatologist at Kaiser and she gave me a steroid creme called Triamcinolone Acetonide because she thinks chances are it’s not melanoma. She wants me to put this steroid creme on them for 2 weeks to see if they get smaller. Steroid creme to get a mole smaller???

For some reason, she flatly REFUSES to cut off any mole unless she’s 100% positive it’s cancer. She said in 2 weeks she’ll know more if it’s cancerous or not. The problem is I’m 6 months pregnant (she knew this) and after I picked up this steroid creme I looked it up online and it’s not supposed to be used while pregnant or breastfeeding because it hasn’t been tested and it’s full of hormones.

Does anyone else think my dermatologist is a moron??? Anyone heard of a treatment like this before a dermatologist will remove a mole?? I mean it takes what, maybe 10 minutes total to remove??? I’m not about to risk hurting my baby from this creme and am very upset.
Hopefully someone will answer besides the spammer…

I asked a question like this a while back but got no helpful answers. Guess i’ll try again.

So there’s a couple moles on my back and stomach that are black, red, tender and growing. I’m fairly certain it’s skin cancer. Even if it’s not, i’m sure a doctor will want to biopsy them.

Unfortunately, I am poor, and can’t afford health insurance or doctors bills. I have no money to fall back on, am not in university, not linked to my family in any way, so they can’t pay for it, and not eligible for medicare, medicaid or anything like that.

How the hell am I supposed to pay for skin cancer treatment? Or are my choices just "die" or "be in debt for the rest of my life?"

If anyone knows any programs or anybody that can help me, I would be more than glad to hear about them.
When I say I have no money, I mean I have NO MONEY.
Lots of people seem to think that "no money or insurance" means "available money and insurance that i’m just not accepting"
IT DOES NOT. STOP BEING UNHELPFUL.
I’ve checked free clinics, any around here that offer skin cancer treatment aren’t "accepting new patients"
AGAIN, I have NO MONEY, I recently moved, and would be homeless if it wasn’t for the good graces of my grandparents, who are letting me stay with them for a short time.

1.)Cisplatin, a drug used in the treatment of certain types of cancer has the molecular formula Pt(NH3)2Cl2.

How many moles of compound are in 450.71 grams of the compound?

2.) When 326.07 grams of Bi2O3 react with excess of C, how many moles of Bi form?

3.)Using the equation 2H2 + O2 ==> 2H2O, determine how many grams of water is produced when 66 moles of oxygen is consumed
