I searched and searched this forum to put my mind at ease for my first appointment and when I couldn't find anything on it I knew I needed to post my experience!

I attended dermatology the morning of my appoiintment my details were checked and I waited in the waiting room. A doctor called me in and checked my mole he looked at with a dermascope and said it appeared normal but due to it repeatedly scabbing it was best to get it removed and this was going to be done there and then.

I was then taken to another room where I laid on the bed and they cut the mole out using local anaesthetic (awake) and it was stitched - 2 stitches. 
It was extremeley painless and should get my results in 6-8 weeks. 
They were really reassuring so not too worried!
