I'm more scared for one of my children than I ever have been before! 
I'm hoping by posting this, my children won't notice it so much...
We had to take Jonathan to the doctor today. Last night, he was very fussy while I changed his messy diaper. I wiped him & he screamed! I've never heard him cry like this
. I instantly knew something hurt, and checked his bum. I thought, maybe a rash, he is still battling thrush in his mouth.
He had this big, purple/dark red colored...bump for lack if a better term. It isn't a fissure, nothing open, etc. I called our pediatrician who was as worried as I was. I was late to our appt today & she was about to call me to see where I was.After we both looked at it more closely, we realized it is on his perineum. It is still dark red, like a blood blister, about 1 in long and very thin.The dr asked if he sits alot, maybe the skin got pinched, but he's rarely in a sitting position (usually resting upright on my shoulder or eating
), much less enough to cause pinching like that - especially without him crying out in pain!)He isn't overly fussy (just diaper changing). He's all healthy otherwise. Happy, playful. A little sleepier than normal, but I chalked that up to the 6wk growth spurt.
So if the size or color doesn't change, they are going to do a biopsy for "an abnormal growth"
. As odd as it is, it could be cancerous (possible, though rare 
.If anyone can offer some ideas, I'm more than open to listening!
I've dealt with neurological problems, developmental problems, rsv...but nothing like this w/my children. Just the mere thought of the word cancer in the same sentence as my child...I really have no idea what this could be.Thank you listening, and for keeping us in your thoughts.
and prayers coming your way! not from your DDC, but couldn't not post after reading!

. And wondering. And thinking when I don't want to anymore. He's getting fussier and fussier lately. His bum is sore and he just screams after. He's never been fussy.
