New challenge....found a mole on my right buttock which has suddenly elevated and become sensitive. Going into the dermatologist tomorrow to have it checked and play a rousing game of whack-a-mole....may call for an emergency buttectomy......probably not, but sheesh nonetheless.
Moral of the story: having a chronic condition does not grant you a special exemption from the heartbreak of psoriasis, bleeding gums, tooth decay, ebola and every other possible health issue that a person can confront. Some of the PD meds have associated elevated risk of melanomas - as does the condition itself (loss of pigmentation within the brain / bound to have systemic effects).....will have it checked and go from there.
