How we helped when this nomad got a facial tumour in Italy

I had a growth appear on my nose very rapidly while I was in Italy. I went to see a doctor who diagnosed it as an infection.  He proceeded to anesthetize the area, clean out the growth, bandaged it up and sent me away with antibiotics. When I returned to Spain the growth was still there, so I went to another doctor for a second opinion.  He diagnosed it as a Keratoakanthoma tumor. He advised me to have it removed immediately and have it sent away for pathological examination. The removal was performed and the results from the pathological examination proved his diagnosis to be correct. I have been told to keep a close watch on it in case of any regrowth.
