Posted on Mon, 24 Dec 2012

Question: Hello. I am 5'4 & 200 pounds (I know I'm over weight) but I'm concerned about skin issues... I had a pre-cancer cell removed from my breasts last summer but I have an on going issue with blackheads and acne on my breasts and don't know how to get rid of it/is it XXXXXXX that its there? I know it's un common.... I've also been feeling really crappy in general lately... constant tiredness no matter how much sleep I get, abdomnial pain thats consistant, I always have to pee or feel really dehydrated/ always need to have a water bottle with me, random headaches, irribility, changed appitite, etc... I'm not sure what's going on... There is also cancer history in my family... My dad had Colon and my mom is a breast cancer survivor...

Hi there Girl.
Relax..think you are just feeling the "C" phobia we all feel at different stages in our lives especially if there is a strong family history. I recently went through something similar & did an endoscopy which came out all clear!..so speakn through experience..the blackheads et al are not an issue but cosmetically need to be addressed. From what you are describing, i would suggest gettting across to a GP or an internist & getting yourself looked at & running a few simple blood tests. Am sure it will all be Ok..but there is no good feeling sick & sitting mum about it..go across to a physician near you..one needs objective results on the ground. We can only do so much online but it needs some work-up in person esp in your case. Relax am sure you do not have any cancerous condition & wish you continued good health! Cheers & Godspeed!
