So, I had this growth on my palate about 1.5x1x1.5cm. They cut it out and sent it off for pathology, suggesting it might be a papilloma.😕
Now I’m dealing with a bit of a mess because where the growth used to be, there’s basically a hole. My doctor told me to just wait a month for the biopsy results before we figure out the next steps 😠, but now these two fleshy, leech-like things are growing right around the edge of the indentation. It isn't really a hole itself, more like skin that's receded, leaving a gap.
I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
What should I actually do? Who should I talk to? Should I just let it heal on its own while waiting for the labs, because right now, eating is a nightmare.
I don't get how a papilloma could cause something like this... everything I've read online about them doesn't match what's happening with my growth, and my girlfriend's Pap smear came back negative too.🤷
I wanted to ask if I should be doing something differently or if I should just let nature take its course and let it grow out.
Hopefully this isn't a troll thread...
