Tyler has had this mole on his abdomen since he was a baby. A few years ago I noticed it got bigger and we had it checked out by the doctor. He said it looked fine. A few weeks ago, I saw it again and it looked like it got bigger so we took some pictures and sent it to his doctor. After looking at it they scheduled an appointment for us to see the dermatologist. That appointment was today.

We went into the doctor’s office thinking they were just going to take a look and maybe take a sample for testing. But after two doctors looked at it, they both said it looked abnormal and decided to remove it. Tyler did not expect this and was nervous. He asked the doctor twice if it will hurt. She told him he wouldn’t feel anything but the area might hurt after.

The nurse drew dots around his mole and took some pictures

He was very nervous lying on the table here while the doctor was prepping. When she injected the anesthesia around his mole, it stung but he managed through it. The mole removal itself was very quick. We were both surprised when the doctor said it was done.

Relieved and happy its over

I promised him a treat after the procedure. He chose Hui Lau Shan
