History
|
My younger son mentioned that I am
looking like I have developed a yellowish tan and I thought I should get it
checked up. I am quite worried I may have cancer because I can't think of any
other reason my skin could have changed colour. Over the last few years I
have had increasing joint pain and feeling very tired. If directly asked,
admits to being unable to maintain an erection. I have not noticed any
changes to my urine or stool. I have not been feeling itchy or noticed any
other symptoms.
