I was very worried when this lump appeared. I saw a Nurse Practitioner at my local surgery who referred me to the Dermatology department a couple of weeks later. The Doctor there examined my arm and she then examined the rest of my body -there were no other lumps/moles etc.
On arrival the receptionist was very welcoming and after a few minutes wait the doctor saw me. She explained the procedure to me and then I went into the operating theatre to be met by two friendly nurses who also put me at ease. The doctor then explained before she began.
I didn't feel any pain at any time. I was given a form explaining what to do and when I needed to go to my surgery for the stitches to be removed. I was very happy with this procedure and praise the doctor and her staff highly.
