Mole Removal - Cheap As Possible?

July 28, 2010
Asked By:NuclearBroom in washington

I have a 5mm mole on my cheek, it is mostly flat maybe a half millimeter raised or three fourths of a millimeter raised. I read that the initial appointment costs around 70-90 dollars is there a way how to skip that step, and can i request that the mole isnt sent to pathology to avoid payment, im paying this out of my pocket since im a teenager. Is shaving my best option, and how much will shaving cost? Thank you for answering my questions
