Are There Low Cost Dermatologists?

mmndll7Dec 13, 2012

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!!!

In order to remove the mole completely, this would require a complete surgical excision, leaving behind a scar that will eventually fade over time.
