Default Has anyone ever had........a mole removed?

This morning (Halloween morning), I had to get up and be at my dermatologist office around 8ish - hard to do on this cold morning here.

Anyway, I went in because I had a dry, itchy rash on my eye lids...I don't wear makeup, so didn't know what it was....anyway, he said it could be from allergies or the weather, etc. I have cream for it.

Well I was there, I decided to have him check some moles and he found one that he said needed to be removed and tested! It was sort of between my toes but on the bottom of my foot, if that makes sense. He really scared me because he said that it would hurt to take it off there, since it is a really sensitive area.....BUT it didn't even hurt!!!! It is being sent of to be tested.

Okay, it didn't hurt when I got it done, but today was a very busy day! It had bled through my bandages and sock before I got home and then again during the day.....THEN, trick-or-treating tonight....OUCH!!!!

I am pretty tolerant to pain, but it is a throbbing hurt! AND the doctor said it would take about a week or two to fully heal up...there are no stitches, just an open hole! What a bad place for it!!!

Has anyone every had a mole removed? If so, how long did it take to heal? I hope it doesn't take as long as the dr. said, but it might being in such a bad location!

Just wanted how everyone else did after having one removed! I'm really not a baby ..........just alittle sore after a busy day!

I had a couple. I didnt get the whole thing removed (roots and all)..just the top frozen and shaved off to get biopsied. It sounds like that's what you had done. Mine didnt really bother me that much, but I think your is just in a crappy place. Either way, I hope everything turns out to be ok for you!

Thanks! I guess they just scrapped off the top....I don't know. I looked at it and there is a pencil eraser size hole there and it is now hurting (just from being on it all day).

If it comes back w/ something wrong, is that when they go in and remove the roots? That sounds extra painful!!!

I hope all were okay w/ yours too!

I had two taken off my back last month - and the first night, just like yours, they both throbbed ALOT!!! I too, am pretty tolerant of pain, and I was surprised at how much they hurt - one was under my bra and it REALLY hurt! I am happy to report that the next day was MUCH better and the day after that was just fine. I think yours is also irritated by the location - so it may take a little longer to feel OK.

I'll have to say though that the scabs didn't come off for about 3 weeks - so while they didn't hurt any longer, the scab was there for a long long time. Don't bother it or pick it off, it is like a bandaid and will help the wound to heal better.

one removed on my arm when I was in 7th grade. I had stiches though and I SWEAR my muscle just FINALLY filled in the hole it left! So 8 years later I have a nice full arm! haah they must have taken out a lot, but then again I just don't have a lot of meat on my bones so you could really tell!

I would say it's the location of where you got the mole removed that you've got going against you. If you had a busy day and running around a lot, that would be hard on that since you're putting your weight on it, which can't be helped. Whenever you get a chance, take a rest and put your foot up. I hope it gets better really soon and the tests come back good!!!

Default mole

My daughter had one right under her second toe...also said it would take a long time to heal because of the bad area also..finally the DR had to cauterize it after a month to get it to heal and that did it...good luck

If the results come back and they need to remove it, theyll numb it and remove it, plus about a half inch perimeter around it. The only that stinks about that is it leaves a nice scar. Mine all came back ok and now you cant even tell anything happened! Good luck

I've had a couple removed. It's a pain, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'm glad it didn't hurt you too much.

I had 2 removed. One was a mole and the other was a little weird thing on my hip, it didnt even look like a mole. Dr removed it and said it doesnt look like its anything. 3 weeks later I got a phone call I had melanoma it was in the first stages of it. It was in a spot that doesnt even see the sun, guess its one of those weird things that just happen. I had to have MOHS skin surgery ( http://www.mohscollege.org/AboutMMS.html ) and they removed the entire area around it. They did a full body MRI and everything came back normal. A cosmetic surgeon did the surgery so I had a very little scar. The area they removed was so big I could probably stick my hand it the hole before they closed it up. It healed nicely. The other mole I had removed was nothing, but now since I had skin cancer any mole that shows up needs to be removed.
When the dr checked my entire body for moles (very embarassing your standing there half naked while the drs check you all over) and she said I actually had the clearest skin shes ever seen, so I guess thats good news

I had one removed on my cheek bone near my ear - it was gross to have it done.. sounded like they were drilling in my head. But mine had stitches.

Cry

This is unbelievable that here is this thread today! I too went to the Dermo yesterday. I had one growth 'thing' on my back right at my bra that has really started to annoy me! My husband came too, b/c he has a few things that need to be looked at and removed. I check off for him to get a full body, but me I said no b/c that was there for only the one growth. Well here is me and hubby - him in a paper robe, I was laughing my ass off! I even took a picture with my phone. He gets the exam over first and had a few things on his face 'frozen' off! Now me, I lift up my shirt for him to see may back and he doesn't care about the growth I am there for, he says oh that's fine it can stay, what he is concerned about is the 2 dark brown odd shape birth marks in the middle of my back (that I have had forever!). He says do you have any more? So, now I have to get into a paper robe because YES I do have a few more...Needless to say that I didn't prepare for a full body look over b/c otherwise I would have worn regular underwear and not a throng!!! HOW EMBARESSING!!

And then to get even more embaressed, I have a mole in my bikini low area, that has to go as well...I have about 6 that need to be scraped and sent to the Lab for pathology...JUST GREAT!!! I need to make an apt. to go and have this done in 3-4 weeks. I could just cry

Wow! I am glad everything is okay. The area was that big?? OMG! I am glad that a good doctor did it though....

I think it is a good thing to have moles checked every year or even more....no matter if you had one come back w/ cancer or not. I agree w/ Kona...it is better to be safe then sorry!

Thanks for the info....I really think mine is fine.....it never bothered me or anything, but I guess it doesn't matter, huh?

And like Chrissy0277 said, had one removed where the sun never hit it and it was melanoma ----- so scary!!!

I guess you never know.....my grandmother is having problems w/ little "cancers" popping up on her skin...not moles but "sun spot" type things. So scary!
