Hello all! Sorry for the delay, back to work now, so I have been getting back into the swing of things. Just a quick update on what the doctor, well surgeon had to say when I went to my follow-up appointment. It was a bit of a joke, I'd never seen this gentleman before, or visa versa! He asked me if I had stitches to remove! Anyway, reading from the chart, he told me it was a Epidermal inclusion cyst. He explained that it was a mass of skin cells that instead of flaking off as usual, had clumped together and formed a mass. It doesn't sound like what you all are talking about here. But perhaps the advice that was given here would still be of use. The doctor could not give me any idea as to how or why such a thing would happen, but did say that it could reoccur. So I guess I will have to do some research and digging to try and figure this out! I don't want this to reoccur, but more info is in order, if i want to avoid it. In the meantime, I have changed up my diet and my supplements to the advice given me in this thread. Added a zinc tablet that has A, E and C, along with B6. Also, I changed my B12 to one that's cyanocobalamin, with methylcobalamin and dibencozide. Cut out the msm and iron. Also, i added a coq10 with alpha lipoic acid and tocotrienols. Plus k2 with d3. Thats just what I've added since I started combing over this thread. I will let you guys know if I find out any more, about epidermal inclusions. I figured since it has to do with the skin all the advice of this thread would still be beneficial . Thanks again for all of the thoughts and time you all gave to this, it was a great help!
