Cancer or Infection?

hey friends, i am new here and like most of the other people worried and scared
let me explain my problem in full form
i have burn marks on my face and i had plastic surgery on them ,but there use to be a spot under my lips from where puss use to came
till one year i ignore it and when i showed it to doctor he said its lump inside
( i take tobacco ,but no signs as red skin in inside mouth) it was removed in November, doc said cancer is not like that ..if it was cancer it would have covered whole face till now
but still i am having same problem and now when i visited him he said its coz hairs are coming from inside and creating infection there
i don't know what to do
can anyone tell me its cancer or hair infection , it does hurt and not recovered after long course of antibiotics

Re: Cancer or Infection?

The doctor looked at it and said it's not cancer. If you don't believe him go to another doctor. Have you seen a dermatologist?

Re: Cancer or Infection?

Hello! It can a while before some one sees your question, so it is good you bumped it up.

It's a little difficult for me to visualize exactly what you are encountering. I understand you have had cosmetic surgery to your face, and there was some sort of lump below your lips that was removed last November. Did the doctor tell you what this lump was? Scar tissue? Cyst? Something else? Was it biopsied, and, if so, what was the result?

It sounds as if the doctor is now telling you there is an ingrown hair in that area? I know those can cause a good deal of pain, but it usually doesn't last.

A lot would depend on what the doctor said the lump was that was removed last November. Skin cancer doesn't normally present itself that way, however, I don't really know that much about mouth cancers. My suggestion would be not to panic or jump to conclusions (difficult to do, I understand!). Your location states you are in India, and I'm not certain at all about the medical system there. I know here in the States if we are uncomfortable with the care we are receiving, we can go to a different doctor for another opinion. I'm not sure if that might be an option for you?

Sorry I can't really give you much of an answer, but I do wish you well.
