auxadrets Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 In my case, no!The dermatologist asked me to make another appointment, and to ask for a 30 minute one. It was not at all painful, just itched as it healed.Good luck and don't worry.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trastu Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thank you for your kind words - I must admit I'm getting a bit nervous about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheminot Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 No need to be nervous. It is done very quickly and you only feel a kind of tingling sensation while it is being done. The area will feel a little sore for a few days afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hello - I had a mole removed over here about 3 years ago. He did it on the same day - the 'bit' he removed was the size of an olive but I never felt a thing. I had a few stiches and it all healed very nicely. In fact, I'd forgotten all about it until now :)good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
