Then if needed, they'll have you come back to have it removed. If it's really small, they might take the whole thing off the first time, and have it biopsied. If clear, you wouldn't have to go back.

This is based upon my experience with my weird looking skin lesions.

Whatever, have it checked. It's a lot easier to handle when small. Good luck.

I'm due to have it checked next week.

Like you said - don't wait!

Took the doctor a minute to prepare. Only took one appointment. Said they'd call if there was a problem. No call.

went in for an annual check up/physical with my gp. Told him a few of moles looked funny...One he said was fine, two were questionable. Called the nurse in, numbed the spot, removed them both in their entirety. One needed two stitches, the other a band aid. Next year, same thing, he checked out a few, removed one. No stitches on that one.

My grandfather died of skin cancer, I am always checking out my skin.

My best friend just went for one on her chest. They removed it same visit, results came back pre-cancerous, so she went back and they removed more tissue to ensure it was all gotten since the edges weren't "clean". Few stitches, results from that are fine.

Get checked, and get checked soon! As evidenced by my friend, early is better! Good luck!

That's a load off my mind!

Always get these checked ASAP - if something's wrong, time is important, if not, why put up with all the worry!

Doctor laser cut it (completely external) and turned out to be nothing.
