Hi all - I'm hoping someone can help me with a bit of advice. I have three small lumps on my face - two on my upper lip, and one by theside of my nose. The one on the side of my nose is flesh cloured and not really a problem, the other two are reddish and one in particular is very noticeable.(Think Mrs Doyle in Father Ted). I think they're skin tags, but they're raised from the skin and round, not flappy. I've always had the larger one on my lip, but it has become a lot more noticeable and redder with age, to the extent that I want it removed. I screwed up the courage to go to my dr, but he was spectacularly unhelpful and just said it was cosmetic I would have to go private, but could give me no guidelines on cost or who to go to.
I'm not a cosmetic surgery type of person at all,and don't know what to do- where do you get drs names from? Is it a good idea to go to a clinic like Transform,(found after searching on the internet for skin lesion removal) or will they be expensive/rubbish or pressure me into having morework done? I want to emerge from this with some self esteem intact but minus the witchy bumps! Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I feel too embarrassed to discuss it with anyone in RL.
