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.

Only just seen this Northe. Was wondering how you went on. See, it was easy wasn't it? Anyways I hope when you get your results you will get the all clear. Take it easy now. Best of luck & am thinking of you 🙂.
 
Update:

Stitches are out and it looks to be healing well - just have to wait a couple of weeks now to see what treatment the consultant recommends 🙂

I have 3 one on my forearm one on my upper arm and one on my leg, I have used Efidex and Aldara, the three of them have faded but I have two small lumps on my arm and one on my leg, I have an appointment for a biopsy on 2nd October they do not seem very concerned that they will turn into anything nasty.
The cream has defiantly improved mine, I read some people stopped using the creams as they didn't like the side effects, thankfully the cream didn't cause me any problems.
Good luck hope the cream works for you
 
Thanks Susie 🙂 The doctor's preference at the moment is for the cream - it has cleared up my dad's completely. Hope all goes well with yours too 🙂
