RedM Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 TBH I thought it was a Gerbil. Apparently they will punch it out! That's animal cruelty in my book. Seriously though, has anyone had a mole removed by skin punch? It's on my calf muscle so I'm hoping it wont hurt too much or stop me from running.

AndrewOW Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have had a mole removed from my back (which back?!), but that was by traditional scalpel cutting methods. I assume they will use a hole punch kinda thing, which could be quick and efficient, maybe for the mole's benefit more than yours. I hope it gets re-homed and on to a better life back where it belongs. You, I couldn't care less about, though. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is there a reason to get it removed? I mean, has it been biopsied and found to be pre-cancerous, or just unsightly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is there a reason to get it removed? I mean, has it been biopsied and found to be pre-cancerous, or just unsightly? They are normally removed, and then tested for nasties, etc, as a precaution. Better out than in, kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is it being cut out by this punch or burned out? I had one burned out with a nifty little tool. Was circular and burned it out in a punch fashion. Did smell a bit, hardly felt a thing after though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 They are normally removed, and then tested for nasties, etc, as a precaution. Better out than in, kinda thing. Not always. There has to be a clinical suspicion before randomly cutting out anything, which usually results in shave biopsy or punch biopsy prior to full scale assault.

In that case, I want mine back, as it wasn't nasty at all, just rather big, and the scar took forever to heal properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is there a reason to get it removed? I mean, has it been biopsied and found to be pre-cancerous, or just unsightly? It just itched a lot. By a lot I mean like three months. It wouldn't stop itching so I got sent to the hospital and they said they'd whip it out although they are pretty sure there is nothing to worry about.

Scott Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 There was no suspiscion when mine was removed. I had a mole on my back that caused me no trouble at all. Went in to get a wart removed and they spotted the mole at the same time and decided to just remove it at the same time. First time they used the freezing method, wart came back and had to be burned off a year or so later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to exist anywhere public. Maybe due to racism fears? Oh, well the Jasper Carrott sketch was funny too!

sdistc Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 ahh, sorry to hear, guys. I know what happens though - my mum is a GP, and liked to hack out anything she didn't quite like the sight of However, she (being in Australia, the land of skin cancer) was pretty accurate about what looked bad or not.

Ewen Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I once knew a girl called Mela Noma, she got right under my skin. She was rather malignant, and extremely thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
