I have an 86 year old sister, who lives in Newaygo Michigan.  She lives at home yet, and is looking for a good doctor who could help her.  She has had sores on her head for over a year and no one has been able to tell her what it.   From the sound of it, it sounds like shingles or possibly cancer spots.  She has a sister and a brother who has cancer spots on her head.I live in Chicago, and cannot at the time go there.Thank you.DDorothy
Hi, it can't be decided from the history of their relatives, if they have same symptoms. The sores will be of so many types, and from bacterial infection, to the cancer.  First thing to do is to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. If necessary the doctor get the culture and sensitivity, for confirmation. Thank you.
