...and they'll let me know what the biopsy says in a week or so. Meanwhile, I have some black nylon thread sticking out of me.
The whole experience was kind of a pain, particularly as the dermatologist was brusque and offhand, the assistant was cold, and the administrative staff looked like they clearly felt I wasn't pretty or vain enough to grace their office.
I did notice that all the staff were young, female, thin, and distant, and that botox info featured prominently in the examining room. I guess maybe they mostly deal with cosmetic surgery?
Hmmm. Perhaps I should go find another dermatologist. Any pointers?

Either way, I really hope the biopsy turns out OK!

It would, but I think I actually have to find one in Massachusetts. However, I'll look in the huge book of providers Blue Cross sent me.

Thanks! I've been told to be aggressive about odd-looking moles because my grandmother had one that was cancerous. So I visit the dermatologist fairly often just for screening, and that means that this is just the sort of thing I deal with occasionally. So far, nothing serious.
