Operation

Today I went for an exam to a dermatologist. I expected a quick, 15-minute exam and a sample take. Then possibly an appointment depending on the findings. But, since the procedure was so simple I guess, the doctor decided to remove a couple of moles.
Amazingly, the operation itself took less time than it took me to undress. I did not feel any pain and the spots were burned so there was no blood at all. The whole experience was quite amazing.
Additional recommendations include regular annual skin checks. The findings will be complete next week and then I will get to know more about potential Melanoma.
