I’m going to the hospital, I got referred by my GP. Went for a check up last week and she booked me in for next weekI’ve had quite a few removed now - are you having it at the hospital or the gp?
Thanks, it’s on the top of my foot, just underneath my big toe. I’m hoping I’ll be alright walking on it?I’ve had some done at the hospital and some done at the hospital - the ones I had done at the hospital have actually scarred less than the ones done at the GP - I don’t know if that’s just a coincidence lol
But honestly it’s nothing to worry about, they numb it first, then they cut it out and then sometimes they burn it to stop the bleeding before they stitch it but you won’t feel a thing - I’m always surprised how large the wound is because they have to go quite deep and wide to make sure if there are any cancerous cells that they get them all, luckily all mine have been ok
The stitches can sting a little bit afterwards but just keep them clean, I always take the dressing off after a couple of days to let the air get to it - it’s not painful
Hope it goes well
I haven’t heard of that! I’m guessing it’s expensive?I’ve had a couple on my body removed. I was looking into getting one removed from my face but a doctor I saw said it would leave a large scar as they have to cut so wide around it.
I’ve seen laser mole removal online though, has anyone had that?
Thank you! I’m hoping mine will be the sameI used to have a mole on my neck when I was a teenager it made me feel so self concious. Fotunately it was removed with the minimum amount of fuss, It was well worth doing. Good luck to you.
I think it would have to be done privately so I assume it would be!I haven’t heard of that! I’m guessing it’s expensive?
There is the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.I think it would have to be done privately so I assume it would be!
I just googled it and this came up... although I’m always dubious of ordering things like this online and whether the reviews are legit!

I’m the same, want removed but scared about the scar so it’s better the devil you know for now.I was looking into getting one removed from my face but a doctor I saw said it would leave a large scar as they have to cut so wide around it.

Get them off even if you need a payment plan to pay for the removal, just might save your life.I’m the same, want removed but scared about the scar so it’s better the devil you know for now.
I was pretty much told... free on NHS (as it causes a few problems from time to time) they’ll take it of in the quickeat and easiest way, it’s a medical procedure, not cosmetic, they will try not disfigure you obvs but little concern for how it looks.
I was told if I went private I could have a little more care and regard for cosmetic outcome but still a basic removal for £300 or have it removed by a plastic surgeon who would be totally concerned with minimising the scar but it’s around £5-600. I was also told not all removal methods work for all moles so it depends on the size/depth and location as to what methods and results you can have.
It might be worth a consultation for you if you’re keen to see if it can be done with minimal scaring?
I’m not really a person to spend money on cosmetic procedures, seems indulgent and unnecessary, I also worry my face will look off balance or something because I’m so used to it. But then I think stop being tight and being a pussy and just get on with it as I’ve disliked it for years. It’s a funny old thing to change your face, minor to everyone else but to yourself that sees it everyday, it’s nerve wracking I think
One of mine was removed to be tested as it was itchy but tests showed it was benign. I would go get it checked as itchiness is a symptom that they advise to go to a doc. If you have been before and they say no you could always ask for a second opinion from another doctor there.Will the gp refer you to have a mole removed if it is normal. I have two raised ones, one always itches and have been before about it.
If they were in any way dangerous I’d of course pay up. I wouldn’t care about a scar either seeing what a malignant growth can do. But it’s not. It’s not that I Can’t afford it, rather I don’t feel it’s warranted to spend a bunch of money purely for cosmetic reasons.Get them off even if you need a payment plan to pay for the removal, just might save your life.
A young girl in our city decided she could not afford the medical removal of a wart like lump, she has just passed away a few days after wedding. She had stage 4 melanoma. Very sad.
A scar is way preferable to death.
The doctor I saw who told me about the scarring was actually private, as I have medical insurance that would cover it through work. But that’s what she said too - as it’s not a medical concern she would advise leaving it alone rather than ending up with a big scar on my face.I’m the same, want removed but scared about the scar so it’s better the devil you know for now.

Where were they, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking into laser but not sure if they would do it on my face.I had a few lasered which have left unnoticeable scars. One on my back I had cut out and the scar was as bad as the mole. It’s a raised red circle.
Yes if you tell them it’s bothering you they should do.Will the gp refer you to have a mole removed if it is normal. I have two raised ones, one always itches and have been before about it.
I've had a couple lasered off. The scars are much better than the ones I've had cut off. There is a faint circle where they were but I really have to look. I'm not sure how to explain it but the skin is just a little lighter maybe? Google "moles after laser" and you will see some photos of people that have had it done on their faces. I would definitely do laser again. They were on my abdomen btw.The doctor I saw who told me about the scarring was actually private, as I have medical insurance that would cover it through work.

That’s my other worry too, I don’t really let on to anyone else that I’m bothered about them and so to have some of them removed I think would draw more attention to them? It is a hard one!
