[quote=Anonymous]i had one removed from my thigh, outer side a couple inches above the knee. i chose to remove it because after not being bothered by it for many, many years it had become enlarged and painful. the growth was removed by a dermatologist (Dr. Castiello in Chevy Chase). He used a punch type tool that goes deeper into the skin as the growth was quite deep. i needed two or three stitches and went back about two weeks later to have them removed. there is a small scar that has faded very well. i have very fair skin and scar easily so i am not sure how this heals in others. dr. castiello also cut out some cysts for me and the scars are barely noticeable. i had previously had to have a mole removed by another dermatologist and he left a horrible scar. dr castiello is great and i no longer have the throbbing pain in my leg.
