"Lupus Awareness" (kam123)

MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

I had a hard scaly bump on the back left side of my head on my scalp about the size of a pencil eraser for about 2 years. I couldn't help picking at it. It would peel off pretty much and then grow right back again. I tried so many things but it didn't go away. I finally had it cut out by a doctor and biopsied. Nothing showed up on the test. Then this year I got ANOTHER one on the other side of the back of my head! Same place different side. I don't know what causes these but I have found that VICKS VAPORUB is making it soften up and it is just about gone now. I just put a little dab on it before I go to bed at night. Just wanted to share what is working for me.

Thanks for the info Karen. That was intersting. I'm glad you found something that helps! And that you shared it. I was wondering... do you know what's causing these bumps?
