Saw an unexpected mole on my neck in the mirror when I went to shave this morning.





Decided I don't need no Doctor....took a razor blade and sliced it clean off.   A little do-it-yourself biopsy.





Am I gonna die?

Did you taste it to see if it was cancerous?

You must be getting old.  I got biopsy for more cutting on my face. Over 300 stitches and counting. Not fun.

If it was the primary lesion and you already have mets you are well and truly fucked. There is a reason EVERYTHING that gets removed gets sent to path. Describe the size,borders,color,.

You definitely should have a biopsy to check for melanoma.  Easy to correct if caught early, deadly if allowed to spread deeper into your body.

Was it round or asymmetrical?

Was the border of the mole smooth or scalloped?  

Was it one color or different shades/colors.

Was it bigger than the size of a pencil eraser?



Please describe the mole.

This.

Mole removal, testing etc was ~$1,000 cash pay. Had one done a couple of years ago.
Worth every penny to know it wasn't cancerous.

Size was about the head of a small pin....zit size...I suppose I could go get my calipers and be more accurate



Borders?  Meh...roundish?  It started as a freckle a few weeks back, but today I noticed it had started to protrude



Color...brown?  Darker that Flat Dark Earth...





I did save it.  It's still on my bathroom counter.  I've named it Larry.

This thread was getting a lot more traction with the original title





Anyway -- 20 minutes round trip to go down the street and vote!  I'm back, and I'm still alive.  So far, so good.
