My Experience

A dermatologist examined a mole on my back and said it was irregular. He recommended removing it.

I was taken into an exam room by a nurse. She asked me to take my shirt off and put on a gown. She then asked me to lie on my stomach. The dermatologist came in and explained I would be feeling a pinch from the injection to numb my skin. I felt the pinch for about a second. I then lay on my stomach for about eight minutes while the doctor removed the mole. He told me he was finished and that I had two stitches. He asked me to clean the wound twice a day.

I didn’t feel anything right after the produce. At about the fifth day after the procedure the stitches started to get irritated a little but I was told that was normal. On the seventh day I went to get my stitches out; everything looked great.
