I did manage to get my greasy booty in the shower though and the apartment is cleaned and de-flead for the day, so that's good at least. Now Husband feels like he's coming down with something. Most likely same thing I had/am getting over still. It's not too bad. Just something that lasts 24 hours. I don't think it was/is the covid or anything.

Mole people - Long time ago I had two suspicious looking moles removed. Both came back abnormal. My dermatologist just told me to wear sun tan lotion when I'm outside. I didn't have to go back in for a second biopsy or anything.... Do you always have to go back in for a second biopsy? Neither mole needed stitches after being removed. I just want to know if I have a neglectful dermatologist or something!

I’m new to this whole getting your skin checked out thing. Never done it before. Hoping they’re not going to find anything they need to biopsy. I’ll let you know how I go.

I've had several moles removed in the past and never needed stitches. This was the first time I ever needed stitches after the initial biopsy, same doctor the past 4 or 5 times. I think if the moles come back mildly abnormal, most doctors don't require a 2nd biopsy. If the mole is severely abnormal, a 2nd biopsy is needed if the margins are not clear to be sure all of the mole is removed. If the mole is moderately abnormal, I think the call is up to the doctor whether to remove it to get clean margins if the margin isn't clear. My biopsy was moderately abnormal.

IDK, every time in the past when I've had a mole removed, the doctor removed it all, but this mole I have is particularly large, and she shaved off some for the initial biopsy and I can still see the edges of the mole around the stitches.
