Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of mole removal.
I have a very raised mole that is tucked away down Tush Valley (I'm sorry, I'm pathetic) and I have so far made it through life only catching it once, but I nicked it today with a nail and it was like a murder scene. (Slight exaggeration, but it was more bloody than I anticipated). I vaguely wondered if it may have got bigger which is why I caught it. It's more garden pea than petit pois (you're welcome). Anyway, I can't monitor it visually so I don't really know.
My actual question - do I go to the doctor first, or is it a case of saving (many) pennies and just finding a clinic?
How do Drs even know if it's a cosmetic procedure or if there's a medical issue without taking a biopsy? If they take a biopsy is it not easier to just whip the whole thing off? I don't really understand the procedure.
I know. Many stupid questions. Thank you for your time.
