You are not our doctor, but my husband's doctor insists that it's impossible that he's been giving me yeast infections from cunnilingus. Evidence suggests otherwise. Have you experienced this before, and were you able to stop the vicious and yeasty cycle?

I'm looking for suggestions for a doctor to see about removing a lipoma from my scalp in the SF Bay Area. Yelp isn't being very helpful and this probably falls under "cosmetic surgery", so who does the hivemind recommend?

Should I find a new doctor, and if so, must I start from scratch? My long-time rheumatologist has moved out of state and I have an appointment this week to see her successor. I have "iffy" feelings about him based on one phone conversation. Long backstory inside. I know YANMD, but I'd appreciate opinions from both medical professionals and consumers.
