Hi and welcome to the online community
I'm assuming that you've seen a dermatologist and they've recommended that you have a mole removed.
When you go to have your mole removed you'll lie down on a couch and the area around the mole will be injected with an anaesthetic. The surgeon or dermatologist, depending on who's doing the excision, will then cut out the mole along with an area of healthy skin around it. You'll then be stitched up and sent on your way.
You may have stitches that need to be removed later by your GP's practice nurse or dissolvable stitches which don't need removing.
You will be given instructions on how to look after the wound and be told how and when you'll get your results. It can take anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks to get your results back depending on how busy the path labs are.
If you've got any other questions just fire away!
When do you go for your excision?
