    They sure look like them but he should se a GP asap to get I checked out, possibly scanned. Don't wait around but get it looked at.

    Hi Laura, my son had this for 6years and I would say it looks very much like it. Has he been to docs yet? Kind regards Gill

      Good luck, it's a tricky thing to deal with, if you need the name of a great private Surgeon then we have one. It was the best money I ever spent and I wish we had done it at the beginning. Hope it goes well .

      Hi, yeah the doctor was really good, it is what we thought! He's going to try antibiotics to see if that helps, then if not we'll try surgery
