Anyone had a mole "shaved" off

[AllieBongo]

I'm having my nanny mcphee style monstrisity removed today.. shaved and then corterised (bet that's spelt wrong) don't i sound a picture! anyone had this done and does it hurt lots?

[chipmonkey]

Oh God I have one that has to come off but I'm petrified!
You get a "burning" smell with laser eye surgery too, less pleasant than steak!

Put it this way Senoracod, it was a smell like no other and one that I do not want to experience again in a hurry!! :)

[tegan]

I have had 2 cut out in the last 3 months and had to have stitches.

[Senoracod]

frying steak?

[louise35]

I had one on my face when I was younger and had it burnt off with a laser. The injection to numb my face stung a little but I never felt the mole being burnt off, there was a rather strange smell though when it was being done and I can still remember that smell 25 years later lol.

had moles excised and one shaved off my back. Didnt hurt. Good result. No probs. you will be fine. :)

frozen was painless, shaving was evil! i looked like nanny mcphee, that bird who's going out with steve mcdonald on corrie will look like i did soon if she's not careful.. apparently the good blood supply it has helped it grow

[Senoracod]

frozen


yes

[AllieBongo]

it's gone1 I saw it in the jar the local hurt more than child birth, but after that it was fine. I am over the moon as it made me feel ugly!!@!!

shaved sounds good...do they do thighs too?

[edam]

Yes, I've had four removed - all because they changed shape (although fortunately all were benign). All but one healed OK. That one left a real mess on my back though - another doc who saw it said 'who on earth did that?!' in tones of horror.

c-sect scar that should've read.

[AllieBongo]

thanks love, you're all making me feel braver!

[Feistybird]

Had one shaved off my eye........

and another cut from my maternity scar.

[pindy]

had one done on my neck, no problem didn't hurt and healed really well and quick. ps; i always scar badly - keloid ! so was really pleased. good luck

[AllieBongo]

jolly good. i've had 2 8lb + babies with no pain relief and i'm cacking it about a little mole.. how sad am i

[fuzzywuzzy]

dp had a mole cut out, it was by his ear and seeemed to be growing, it healed really fast and left no scar.

[AllieBongo]

it's just under my eye next to my nose.. shall i close my eyes? i hate it so much, i'd be like kate moss without it

[oliveoil]

I had one cut out on my back, it seemed to change when I was pregnant with dd1 and they cut it out to test it.

Left a right mess on my back . Not that I wear revealing tops but even so.

[FairyMum]

Yes, I had it done from my back. Did not hurt one bit.

Shaved sounds horrible - ouch. I had one just under my jawline that got very itchy in the summer so I had it cauterised - it really didn't hurt at all, stung a bit. I had to go a few times though.
