[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP When is your derm appointment? [b]UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU ALLOW THEM TO BURN OR FREEZE THE SPOT. They need to biopsy it. [/b] I had malignant melanoma over a decade ago and had gone to my gps office and he wanted to burn my mole off. I didn't make the appointment but went to a derm to check something else and he noticed the spot. I never would have known it was melanoma had it been burned off. [/quote] Right-O. YOu want someone experienced in Mohs treatment. While they scrape of tiny cell from your face or other exposed areas, the tiny slices are being examined for malignancy or pre-cancer situations. They stop cutting only when they are sure they have it all. Then, if the patient (like my dad who was in the service and never wore a shirt or suntan lotion for decades) has more, they move on, often removing many skin tags and possible malignancies in one sesseion.[/quote]
