Subject: RE: skin tumors - alternative treatments

My 5 year old has had two tumors (which I imagine are mast
cells) for weeks now. One seemed to grow and then flattened
out and almost looks dimpled. The hair on his head doesn't
grow on this area anymore. How do you know when to get a
biopsy for something like that? If it were malignant, would
there be other signs like loss of appetite or other symptoms?
