k so when i was a baby i had a rash on my neck, so my grandmother put this cream on it. turns out i was somewhat allergic to it and i grew this brown mole thingy (it isnt round or anything it kinda is like a bunch of round spots that sticks out) so the doctor said i can have it removed by like scraping it or osmething at the dermatoligist. they'll put anesthesia on it so i wont feel it. but im kinda scared. does anyon have this? and did it hurt when you removed it?

The doctor had to cut away part of my skin & stitch it back together :] Quite an interesting scar, I must say. It healed just fine, and actually about six years after the surgery I got a steroid shot to shrink the scar tissue. Now it's like it was never there, besides a pink mark.
I imagine that a less invasive procedure will hurt even less & leave a very minimal scar behind. You can always ask for before & after pictures. Plus, pinkish mark = easier to cover with makeup & the like, than a mole. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]

It shouldn't hurt too much with the local. So, I wouldn't worry about it. [ AngelofMercy's advice column | Ask AngelofMercy A Question ]
