They are benign and 100% of us will have at least one of them by the time we turn 18 years old. Small ones can […]
For medical education- NSFE. Don’t be upset I didn’t attack all the blackheads! She was here to see me today because we did a pretty big skin cancer removal and reconstruction on her face in the past, and we are just doing some minor improvements on the resultant scar. I ran out of memory on […]
