Suggest Cure For Spots On The Head

My 19 year old daughter recently noticed bald spots on her head, 2 of them is dime sized and the other one is about the size of an egg. Also, she has a lump on her armpit. In the past, her lymph nodes were huge but eventually the swelling went down. She mentioned to me that sometimes, there s blood on her stool. I am so worried because cancer runs on her father side of the family.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Spots on head are probably atheromas and these are small subcutaneous glands which may become clogged and grow. This should be surgically removed under local anasthesia. This is not serious. Her blood in stool is something else,however,cancer is the last thing to think of in her age. It is in most cases caused by hemorrhoids or anal fissure so she should see proctologist for further evaluation.
