David is right, it could be anything including cancer. What I will say, and it's commonly said on these boards, is that it's NOT cancer until a biopsy says it is.

I know it's hard to do, but take comfort in that advice. Push your Dr to get to the bottom of the issue, but don't let you mind wonder with the possibilities.

Good luck and best wishes,

Eric
