Yes. I will defintely seek a second opinion. The problem is where should I go now? To a PD or National Skin Centre? I am concerned that they will refer me to KKH again. My cousin has recommended Prof Giam Yoke Chin who specialises in PD Dermatology. Or to a plastic surgery centre? Most likely the surgeon will recommend the surgery. It’s difficult to make a decision.


Thanks Winth, I have already bought a medical insurance for my child. She will only be covered if the lump is due to an accident (e.g. a fall) or if she has surgery or needs hospitalisation. I won’t be able to claim from insurance company on these medical bills for just seeking consultation from doctors.

Hi,


Yesterday brought my girl to KKH to see a plastic surgeon. She has a lump on her cheek, the size of a 5 cents coin. It has been there for 7 weeks. We thought it was due to a fall and simply apply some cream on it, hopefully it will go away. It never and so we decided to bring her to KKH. The doctor told me it could be a cyst or broken blood vessel which he is not sure also. He told me to go for surgery to remove the lump. The surgery would leave a scar on my child’s face.

Would you be able to recommend a good plastic surgeon who is skilful without leaving a scar on the face?

Many thanks in advance.
