Who do I see?

This is a really dumb question but I want to get some moles removed. Do I call a dermotoligst? Any Baltimore girls have a recommendation? I live in the city, work in Owings Mills and spend a lot of time in AA county.

Re: Who do I see?

  • I can't help you on local docs, but as far as who removes the mole, it depends on where it is and how you want the area to look afterwards.  

    I have a mole on my face that I want removed and my dermatologist said he could remove it in the office, but that a plastic surgeon would be better to avoid scarring.  If that's not a big concern for you (i.e. it's in a place where a scar wouldn't show), a dermatologist is probably the easiest way to go.

  • Yea I think you'd go to a Dermatologist.  My mom goes to Anne Arundel Dermatology.  They just moved into the new office building right off of Quarterfield Rd. that is next to Rt. 100.

    Thanks! I'll give them a call. And I can go to The Grill for lunch. Love love love their craisin chicken salad.
  • Start with a dermatologist, see what they say and then ditto if its in a "visible" location then you can go to a plastic surgeon.

    If it is on your face or your arm or somewhere it would be regularly visible... if you are AT ALL vein... go to a plastic surgeon.  Most dermas don't give a crap and just DIG in your skin, while a plastic surgeon will take great care.

    LOL, this is so funny.  What my derma said, exact words, were:  "Well I can lop it off for you right here today, but since it's on your face you might want to see a plastic surgeon."  I appreciate the honesty!

    I have 2 on my back I want to have removed. Although, they are not noticeable, I am a little concerned about the scaring. I've seen scars on other people and worry that the mole might actually be more attractive. I want them removed for vanity not for any other reason.
  • I have had three removed. One on my forehead, one on my arm, and one on my back. I had them all done by a dermatologist and I wish I'd gone to the plastic surgeon. Thankfully the one on my forehead healed nicely and there's just a very tiny unnoticeable scar. The ones on arm and back, not so much. I have huge white scars from both and regret having the dermatologist do them.
