Unfortunately, it is impossible to give you an optimal answer without seeing the growth and examining you. BUT -- if the lesion is NEW and seems to be getting larger, then the odds of it being something more serious is INCREASED. Therefore, I would advise you to have your primary MD examine you, or go to a dermatologist and have a real expert examine you in order to be 100% CERTAIN it is nothing serious.

He needs to do EXACTLY what the chief of the lab mandates that all staff do! ANY certified lab in the USA with have STANDARDIZED NORMS that all staff must follow in order to be employed there. One example of this is to wear UNIVERSAL PRECAUTION gowns/gloves/masks, etc., to protect against certain infections and to have HEPATITIS IMMUNIZATION--as this is a not uncommon infection that can be transmitted by blood/needle sticks in the lab.

it is VERY common for the PAIN from any musculo-skeletal trauma to be DELAYED for a number of days or rarely even weeks. It is unlikely that you have any potentially fatal injury (unless you are having worsening ABDOMINAL PAIN, which can be due to a ruptured SPLEEN or BOWEL and that could potentially be fatal). But, it very common for herniated discs or other anatomic injuries of the spine to result in DELAYED neck and/or back pain and other associated symptoms. A visit to your MD (or to an urgent care center) should answer any questions you might have and provide any necessary tests and/or treatment.

There is NO cure for IBS. BUT there are many treatment options to reduce symptoms. If diarrhea is prevalent, OTC medicines like Immodium, kaopectate, or even Pepto Bismol can be tried. Also, avoid any "trigger" foods that may cause diarrhea. Stress management (with or without medication) may also help.
If the diarrhea remains intractable, newer drugs like VIBERZI or XIFAXIN can be prescribed. A frank discussion with your doctor (ideally a knowledgeable Internal Medicine specialist or a Gastroenterologist) will help develop a customized treatment plan. But keep in mind that treatment will be "trial and error" until an effective regimen is found.
If constipation is prevalent, INCREASED DIETARY FIBER, INCREASED FLUID INTAKE, COFFEE, PROBIOTICS, and EXERCISE may help. If symptoms persist, then OTC drugs like SENNA, MIRALAX, or MOM will likely help.
If CRAMPS and BOWEL SPASMS are frequent, drugs like HYOCINE, CIMETROPIUM, or BENTYL may help.
