I went to a dermatologist today for a skin check and to see what can be done about my keloid scars from gallbladder surgery a year ago. I asked her about the cherry moles, she said they’re normal and she can zap them off if I want, but insurance doesn’t pay for that. She didn’t even have a comment about the small pinprick dots. She injected the keloids with steroids and lasered them. (I hope they smooth out.) I guess I’m just stuck with polka-dotted skin. LOL Interesting, the local anesthetic they gave me didn’t work. I felt the laser, so they gave me more anesthetic but it still didn’t work. She did immediately say a mole on my left calf had to come off because that’s the most common place for women to get melanoma. I had no idea. I’ve had the mole for as long as I can remember though so I’m expecting the biopsy to be normal. The anesthetic worked great for that one. Weird.
