Anyone had a skin biopsy? I have a few ??s

Thanks y'all. This spot is about the size of an almond, right below my eye. It's not the spot I went to see her about. The one I went to see her about is the one she froze off; said it was pre-cancerous. This one she said can be removed, but only after it's been biopsied. I have neosporin on it now and I'll wear a bandaid on it to sleep, only so I don't wake up with my hair stuck to it and my face.


Red, I'll know when I go back in two weeks; but I'm not anticipating any trouble. After all, it's not March anymore. March was the unluckiest month of our lives!

Same here... grew up in Florida and had some scary burns. I'm also fair and red hair..
I had a spot removed when i was a teen... it was fine..but i have a huge keloid scar from it.
I'd say..keep it moist.. the triple antibiotic ointment is a good idea... then when it starts to heal better use the lotion..
Good luck!

When do you get the tests back??

Hey Wendy. Have you ever had them try to remove your keloid? I have one right on my jawline, half way between ear and chin from a basal cell carcinoma 2 years ago and another one right...well...its...its right in my cleavage.
They both annoy the tar out of me as they itch and are quite high off of the skin. My doc did steroid shots into the cleavage one to no avail. It actually looks worse now. Not so worried about the look, but they annoy me

Ask the doc about Mederma. I have used it on other small spots and its worked great at reducing the scar and I am one of those fair skinned blondes who scars waaaay too easily.
