Rodent ulcer

Hi all I got a lump removed from my neck in June and just  got a call from the doctor who removed it  TODAY!! to say it was a rodent ulcer but not to worry about it. Ofcourse I had to look up what it was and now I am worried. Nothing has regrown but should I still be concerned?

    Hi Kazzer66, 

    Yay it was all removed and you must be relieved! It sounds like your doctor was not too worried about it so try to follow your doctor's advice but if you notice any changes or that it has regrown or anything you are concerned about, do give your doctor a call to have it checked. It might be a good idea since you looked things up and may have questions to give your GP a call anyway so that you can talk about it and you can ask questions and I am sure that they will be able to reassure you on this. 

    Best wishes,
