I’ve developed a mole on my left shoulder–right by my bra strap. Annoying little booger. So I decided to get it removed.

The dermatologist calls them “barnacle moles.” I have a couple others I’ve lived with my entire life, and since I’m used to them, I leave them alone.

I am starting to wonder if I should have done the same with this one. Good grief I never realized how much freezing hurts. As soon as I’m done with this I have to text my daughter, Ann, and apologize to her. When she was young we had several warts frozen on her. We thought we were doing the right thing. I never knew how much it hurt.

I offered to work a half day today to help out my co-worker out…I really wish I hadn’t. I don’t want to do anything.

I hate being a wuss about pain.

I’ve had one near my bra strap my entire life. For some reason I never considered getting it removed, and for quite some time it was catching and terribly sore. I feel for you! Both for having it and now not! I’m a wuss too, hehe.

Big hugs to you…being in pain is the pits. The place you had worked on is a very tender area to begin with and then having a procedure done…must be miserable. I hope you’re pain free and all better soon.

It is painful! I had one removed a while ago and decided I’d rather have the others than have them removed.

OuCh! I sure hope it feels better quick! I had a place frozen on my leg last month and OH MY GOODNESS! I love cold but NOT that kind of cold! lol!

Hope the pain fades quickly. I think you did the right thing, though… with your mole and with Ann’s warts. I had to get a mole removed from my daughter’s arm when she was little because it kept getting smashed and bled. Doc had to cut it out and stitch the hole… she still has a scar. Freezing sounds much better.

I had one on my belly removed. I kept picking it and making it bleed. I don’t remember it hurting that badly.

I have had several moles removed by freezing and don’t remember it being that painful, but then I have been told by more than one doctor that I have a high pain tolerance. Sometimes that is a good thing. I hope you are feeling better by now.
