I am 67 years old and have had skin cancers on my face, one of which required a Mohs procedure over ten years ago. Although I am more careful now to wear a hat and sunscreen and limit outdoor time during the sunniest hours (I live in often XXXXXXX Northern California), I continue to develop a variety of moles (some of which itch and/or peel off at times) and other skin irregularities. My father had a melanoma which was successfully treated when in his 70s. I have read in various places that I should be seen by a dermatologist annually because of my history and I have asked for referrals from two different primary care physicians but they have turned me down and settled for cursory exams by themselves. Why are they so reluctant? Should I be satisfied with this? Is there some way to present my situation so that they would be more likely to refer me to a skin specialist for a more thorough check-up?

I have developed erectile dysfunction over the past 10 years or so. I t has gotten progressively worse over that time. I still get erections, especially early AM, but other times they do not "rise" entirely to the occasion -or- they don't last.

Hello i'm showings signs of a chlamydia infection. But i tested negative. For my urinalysis it wasn't the first stream. I wait 1 and a half hours before doing the urine sample. Is it possible to get a false reading. Or if i have chlamydia will it show up regardless?
