Mole? Skin tag? Doesn't matter, I'm going to barf.

Ever since I can remember I have these things on my neck.

Over time, they've gotten bigger. I was never bothered by them because they did no harm. They just sat there as a part of me. I sort of actually liked them lol.

Well, today I felt really odd. It felt like something was bothering the larger one as I was getting dressed for work. It literally felt as if a necklace was rubbing on it or something. I got a weird feeling and contacted my doctor.

She squeezed me in on her lunch break and I was not prepared for what was to come.

Apparently this doctor is also a licensed dermatologist. SHE REMOVED BOTH OF THEM FOR ME,

Now, I was given a shot to help with the pain. I didn't mind that part. I was getting sick feeling at the idea of her "removing" it. I can't even say or type the word. Snip. ew ew ew

I told her and her assistant (who had gone through this twice before) that I didn't want to hear any talk or medical terms or plans of what their doing. I shut my eyes and looked away. I felt the shot, it was fine, then she did it. Just within seconds. It was crazy!!!! All within my lunch hour. No, I did not throw up phew.

I am happy both moles are removed and I am feeling so crazy for having done this. I just never thought I would.

Ironically, today is my last day covered with my insurance from my old job. My new insurance starts in November. I'm thankful I could use it today because in cases any pain came from this mole I did not want to wait until November.

I love my doctor, I feel so brave (and crazy) and I cannot stop looking at my neck! It's unreal to me,

If anyone reading this also has moles or skin tags I suggest getting them removed if they hurt, bother, or annoy you. It took literally 5 mins for the entire process and I was honestly not in pain at all. I'm fine now, the recovery was within mins and I feel great. :) If you have any related stories to share please leave a comment below, 

Janice White is an ARNP at Company Care located in Flemming Island. She is awesome  if you are looking for a primary care professional in the Orange Park area. Not only is she knowledgeable, she also really cares from what I can gather. My husband has become a patient of hers a week after my first visit, and he's equally thrilled. She makes time for her patients, she treats you with kindness and love, never feel rushed and she calls back! Those things are hard to find in a doctor/professional so it's rare I come across someone so amazing! I recommend her to all people.
