What can I do when I’m getting my mole removed to calm me down?

November 20, 2017
Asked By:Shannon_20 in Birmingham, GB

I’m getting my mole removed and it’s on the back of my neck and I’m very conscious when people touch it but I want it off because I’m worried it might turn cancerous and it gets caught on my shirts at school. Is there anything I can do when it’s getting removed that will help with my anxiety and calm me down?

I've had this mole (Intradermal) on my nose for almost 20 years. I would like it removed. Shave or excision? (Photos)
David Hansen, MD says:

Shaving the nose fibroma would be by far the best option. It might need to be redone every few yrs but it sure beats an ugly scar.
