mole

[Wild_Foxx]

lately i've been thinking about having a mole removed from my forehead. Its not like a huge, hairy thing but whenever im straightening my fringe of somthing its really sore. Anyway i've been thinking of getting it removed but i want to know if anyone else has had this done?
how sore is it because im not very good at withstanding pain.

Not a mole, but had a sebaceous cyst removed from my face after living with it for a few years. Dont remember any pain, though I seem to remember the local anasthetic made me sick. It healed very quickly and left no scar and wished I had done it sooner.

I had one removed from my spine and it wasnt very painfull at all. Obviously the numbing was a little uncomfortable but the process of removal was fairly quick and easy, and it healed fairly quick too. Pain wasnt an issue with me really, I had a few problems with being allergic to something they gave me to keep it dry and clean but aside from that it was fine. If it bothers you I would see your gp and ask about it.

My daughter had a mole removed from her spine when she was 8 and they did it as a day case under general anaesthetic,she had 3 stitches in it and suffered no pain at all.

Depends on the type of mole - if it IS a mole, and not a cyst or a wart.
They can freeze them, cauterize them, or, occasionally they have to cut them out - but you shouldn't feel much - if anything.
