I have an appointment to have 'cryosurgery' next week - and I made a mistake and googled it. I am now terrified and don't want to have it done.
I went to see my GP a few weeks ago as I've noticed some changes in some moles. He said there was absolutely nothing to worry about, that they looked fine but he'd like to freeze them off anyway. I asked why they needed to be removed if they looked fine and he just sort of mumbled about it being better to remove them even though there was nothing to worry about.
So I made the appointment and promptly went home to google the procedure. The first thing that came up was that they don't use any anaesthetic and it can be painful for up to a week around each mole.
I'm now questioning if I need to actually have them frozen off if he said there was nothing to worry about. I'm aware that I'm just being an absolute coward but I'm scared and don't want to do it!
Has anyone had it done / have any advice? Does it actually hurt as much as google says it does??
