    Has anyone had a skin tag or mole removed?

    I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow... actually with a doctor i work with too, and i'm just going for a consult to see if i can have this skin tag off... it's beeen bothering me.. clothes rubbing against and irritating it.

    i've seen several biopsy's of moles and skin tags, so i know the whole process, but i'm a bit nervous about the actual removal. Theres 4 doctors in my office, and my primary that I see is not this one that i'm seeing tomorrow, but he's the one that seems to do these minor office surguries the most, and I'd feel like i'm most confident and comfortable with him doing it, as oposed to the others, even thou i would have no problem trusting my primary as well.
    just looking for other stories or words of encouragement.

    Well my good family friend has had some removed a few times actually... all of the times have been successful except the most recent one..she said she's had a mark there that is worse than the mole before. It's red and itches and she just keeps it covered with a bandaid for now.

    But I wouldn't get too worried about it Smile Better safe than sorry!

    I wouldn't be worried, I got a ball of skin removed from my neck just recently because it could have been a tumor, but it was nothing.
    The process is painless, the only thing u feel is the pressure of the knife but that's it. I thought it would be horrible but it ended up with me not feeling and u can barely see my scar now.

    Don't worry, you'll be fine, like u said it's a minor procedure and it will be over quick.

    Like Jesse says "Don't Stress, Don't Stress, Don't Stress" lol

    lol.. i so shoulda had jesse playing wehn i got it done


    doctor ended up just going through with it today.. i took mom with me just for extra support. haha.
    so i was soo nervous... like, i've seen the procedure multiple times cuz i work as a nurse, and seen these doctors do the thing, seeing the needle and the knife and all..

    so i was scared, cuz i knew exactly what was gonna happen. i was most scared of the needle, cuz they say it burns, but it really wasnt that bad.. tiny pinch, i could sorta feel the liqid of the numbing medication, but it really wasnt bad. then i could tell he was using the razor (he just kinda shaved it off) but i didnt really feel it.. ya know what i mean? it was like when someone touches your hair or something, you can tell they're doing it, but you dont really feel it? i dunno how else to explain.
    all went well, and if theres any infection or problems to call him.... or i can always just say something when i'm there.

    I've had a mole removed. It was a tiny one, And honestly it was worst thing ever.. They burned it off
    I have this huge scar on my back now and when its hot outside the scar tissue like swells up and burns constantly.

    Sad

    I hate it! it don't hurt when you get them removed its a little sting, but i wish i would've have got it done because everytime its hot outside its always burning and really itchy. And its a really ugly scar all puffy Sad
