Medical Forum?
Does anyone know a good medical forum to visit? I got a couple skin conditions that I took pictures of and wanted to post on a medical forum to find out what they are (since I don't have medical insurance to go see a doctor).

Is there ANY way for you to get in to see a doctor? Do they have free clinics where you live? A good friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer on her inner and outer eyelid area - she had a small growth there that she thought was a birthmark, and now it's turned very serious. I'd urge you not to wait and see what happens. :?
(I'm once again feeling very blessed to be Canadian and have free healthcare)

Jason makes some very good points which I can't stress enough. Personally, I go through a lot of clinical cases day-in, day-out, and if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that making a diagnosis based on a set of images is a very iffy procedure.
There's more to diseases/conditions than meets the eye, and I urge you to see a doctor if you can.
