I'm wanting to get a mole on my face removed but I don't have insurance. Every place I've called costs $108 or more just for the examination-which doesn't include the removal itself plus any and all other costs. I'm losing all hope. HELP!!!

Answer: Most docs try to be accomodating when finances are a big issue for the patient.
There are likely many herbal cures for disease. With moles, surgical excision with pathologic examination to rule out atypia or skin cancer is warranted in most cases.
There is no known reason one develops cherry angiomas, but fortunately they are completely benign. Most cherry angiomas look like tiny blood vessels underneath the skin.
I use the pulsed dye laser to treat the cherry angiomas on the face and body.
We recommend using bacitracin for the first 2-3 days and then transition to vaseline for another 2 days and then use a lotion with spf. You can wear a bandage if need be for the first week off and on, but try not to wear the bandage for too long.
