see a doctor. A friend of mine went to a dermatologist, after being checked over the doctor didn't find anything. My friend asked about a mole on his neck and he said oh I can take care of that, it takes the doctor 1 second to zap it. My friend's insurance took care of the doctors visit but they denied paying for the mole saying it was cosmetic, he had to pay $300 for that one second. My leg was swelling bad so my doctor sent me to doctor that does laser surgery on varicose veins. That doctor said he could help it with laser surgery, it took 5 minutes for him to burn the bad veins out, I was billed for $5000 because the insurance said it was cosmetic. I had to appeal their decision and finally after a couple months the insurance agreed to pay. The medical system in this country is ridiculous. I can understand your problem but you better get it checked.
