So I am kind of freaking out and thought I would turn to my Spark family. I have had a variety of moles for a very long time. Several on my shoulders have been there since I was a kid, so I have never really thought anything of them. My boyfriend tells me constantly that I need to get them removed, but I'm a huge baby and have just kind of avoided it. I guess I thought if it was that bad then during my annual exam the doctor would notice and mention it, which has never happened lol. I decided to step up and confront this issue. I have a large mole on my shoulder that has an abnormal circumference. I feel like it might have gotten a little bigger over the past few years, but I don't have data to prove/disprove that. I also have a flat, light brown mole on my scalp near my hairline above my ear. This one has definitely gotten bigger. I read online that the flat moles are the bad ones. I have some other raised moles, but these two are the ones that have stood out to me the most. I made an appointment on Feb 1st with my doctor about these moles, but I am kind of nervous. The lady on the phone said my doctor removes moles or may have to recommend me to a dermatologist. Would they remove the mole that day or would they look first and then schedule a future date for "surgery"?? What is the process of removing moles? Mentally I am envisioning a huge knife sawing off the one on my shoulder and having to dig a hole in my shaved head to get the other one. Has anyone had moles removed? My head is getting hot just thinking about it:(
