Sorry to hear your news but glad you've seen the gp and getting it sorted, hope all goes ok. My FIL had this last year and had it cut out with no further treatment needed. Hope the same goes for you.
Thanks again everyone. Funny isn't it, I've had it for years, but it's only now I know what it is that it's got me on edge and wanting it gone! I guess it's just the assciations you have with the name - it would be better if they called it a tiddly splodge or something 😉
Yes, along with everyone else, sorry to read your news Alan. I am sure they will have you sorted in no time though. It's amazing what they can do these days.......!
Sending you positive vibes anyway. Hope it's all sorted very soon.
Thanks everyone 🙂 Off for my biopsy this morning, which hopefully will confirm the dermatologist's diagnosis and I can begin treatment - wish me luck! 🙂
Thanks folks. Well, the doctor has taken a big slice for his persusal. He said he would take quite a big bit now in case he decided that surgery would be the best option, and this would reduce the amount of work needed in the future. Took 5 stitches worth! It felt a bit like when I go to the dentist - I know there's not going to be any pain or problems, but you just feel a bit tense and uneasy all the time.
Got to have the stitches out in 10 days and get the results in about 3 weeks.
