Meatball,

I took the same attitude you are in that I insisted on knowing what my spot was through three doctors before being correctly diagnosed. The best patient advocate is yourself. This could be any number of things, but keep in mind that as long as it persists, you should persist in finding out what is causing it.

Best of luck.
