Um expect it to be quick and somewhat painless beside a quick ouch from the anaesthetic needle .

Yep like that, I've had a few removed, trick is to cough when they are injecting the anaesthetic, seriously helps it not hurt. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Aww you guys are AWESOME i was envisioning scalpels and digging them out with a twist and flick motion leaving dirty big holes or something.
Quick and Painless - i like that

I had a really deep one removed.. simple anesthetic and didn't feel a thing! pinched a little when they took the stiches out, but depending on the size and the docter, they may just put steri strips on :)
I paid for mine to be removed though, and they told me afterwards that I could of had more than one removed for the same cost which I was a bit miffed about, I would of got more done! Goodluck :) ------------- http://lilypie.com/">

| Probably too late but I've had a few excisions done, they cost between 150-250 each. Mostly quick & almost painless, last one was on my calf muscle though, deep & wide, there were stitches to hold it closed, looked a bit like a strung roast! They said take it easy but I sorta have children! It pulled when I walked so instead of being a line with dots either side it's an oval with lines either side, kinda like a caveman drawing of a bug! I'm sure yours will be fine though, =). |

That sounds cute though!
It was only $80, magic. And it was way easier then expected but again, they told me to take it easy and don't bend too much...er...small baby? And i have legit stitches and a dirty big patch over it that i have to leave in place for 2 weeks! Boo. I want to see my new mole free back, it was huge and right in the small of my back i freaking HATED the thing. (extra info for future searches of mole threads!) |

| In Timaru, my doctor did it and i just booked (and paid for) a double appointment. If this one comes back as nasty i will have to get a few more removed, i wonder if the pay the same amount no matter how many you get removed thing counts with her! That'd be sweet. |

That is good to know that it is painless. I have a few that I would love to get rid of one day. One on my shoulder that hurts when straps hit it a certain way, it's really annoying. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I got a mole removed with DD was about 7wks old. Was meant to cost $200 but I pulled the 'I'm a poor parent' card and the doc did it for $50 lol. It was on the top of my shoulder, just where my bra strap sits and the doc made a complete mess of it. I now have a dirty great scar that is about the size of a 20c coin and it is very raised as well. It's been almost a year and it is so friggen itchy and so ugly. I hate it. I'm getting married in Nov and was hoping to wear a strapless dress but so self concious of the massive scar on my shoulder. People always comment on it like 'omg what happened to your shoulder?!'  Next time I think I'll go to a proper dermotologist and not just my GP.
Sorry, rant over lol -------------

nzlisajo, try bio oil on it everyday until you get married, its meant to help fade/shrink scars, it might be worth a go hun, and also use the make up, but it bio oil works you may not need to

unfortunately bio oil does nothing for me. Have tried it on other scars etc in the past and used it twice a day for several months and made no difference 
Have been using Dr Lewinns Medic range on it as it faded my stretchmarks straight away pretty much so thought Id try that but it hasn't made a difference to the scar. Looks like it is there to stay. Some good makeup might do the trick on the day tho. Thanks for advice and sorry to Bowie for threadjacking!!  -------------

This is the same reason I go to a plastic surgeon to get them removed. I got one done by the dr & went nup not doing that again. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Good on you bowie for getting it taken out. I have had 3 moles removed over the past year 1 on my breast and 1 on my face. One of the moles on my breast had a tiny spot of melanoma in it and as the specialist went quite deep I was lucky not to need any more surgery or anything else. |

as for me it was a real test to get rid of mole and skin tag... the presence of skin tag on my face made me upset :( |

| Skin can be a real challenge to anyone. I remember I had once a skin tag on my eyelid, it was uncomfortable and ugly. All I can say I was feeling really insecure about myself, about how I look, and I started to hate how myself, it was going into a depression, but lucky me, a friend of mine noticed my emotional state, and asked me about what was wrong, I said my problem to him, and we both started to search for a "remedy", that's when we found https://www.skintagsoff.com/" rel="nofollow - skintagsoff.com , there were described many methods of skin tags removal, I chose the one with the tea tree oil. It seemed the most safe for a skin tag on an eyelid |

In our time of quarantine all over the world, organizing good technical support and customer feedback is a priority task for any client-oriented business. For a long time I tried to establish the work of my service, but I ran into restrictions due to quarantine and a financial wall. I had to look for a cheaper option and I found the https://wow24-7.io/" rel="nofollow - https://wow24-7.io/ . An excellent alternative to a call center, only works out-of-the-box. |
