Should I Seek Medical Attention?
Should I Seek Medical Attention?
Okay, about a couple of months ago, I noticed a small lump near my pelvic area. I thought it was a swollen lymph node, because I've had one before and I know what it feels like, so I ignored it. 6 months later, I still noticed it's still there and it feels stiffer. My grandpa recently passed away from skin cancer in August and I have been exposing myself to sunlamps (tanning beds) recently. I know it's stupid to tan in tanning beds, because of the risk to UV rays, but it really made my confidence shoot sky high. Now, I don't know what I should do because I am currently on an student exchange in Poland, without my parents. So, what should I do?

Yes i think u should! It is possible though for it to be a side affect fromt he tanning other than cancer. But i would really suggest going to make sure since ur grandpa died of havign skin cancer (sorry about him btw may he Rest In peace) :). It runs through ur blood to possibly have it so go check it out. N please do not tan in a tanning bed anymore just in case.
