Ya. seeing a Doctor or dermatologist would really help. She might not have very much longer to live, but every second counts.

Could you get a doctor or better yet a dermatologist to look at it? I don't know what the nurse meant when she said that, but this is my guess, remember this is just a guess, maybe she meant it could be infected. I would still want a doctor to look at it.
