Had my pre-cancerous mole surgically removed.

Advertisements [?]

Apparently, it was a stage earlier than I thought. It was called a "severely displastic compound malanocytic nevus". If I had let it go, it likely would have progressed to "lentigo maligna melanoma".

Anyway, the doc cut a 3 inch eyeball shaped patch out of my back, and stiched it up. It didn't start hurting until about an hour ago, but it is not bad.

If you have fair skin, light eyes, had frequent sun exposure when you were younger, please check yourself for atypical moles. I am lucky I got mine at an early stage.
