Anyone ever have a suspicious mole checked out? [View all]

What I'm afraid of is being told it looks odd, then being told to come back in two weeks for a biopsy, then being told to come back again to have it removed. This is a small mole that I think has taken an odd turn. What are the chances that it will simply be removed and biopsied if the doctor agrees with me?

If needed, they'd probably do a biopsy the first visit. Doesn't take long nowadays. Hoyt Dec 2013 #1

Thank you for the reassurance! I just noticed the change the day before Thanksgiving; hedgehog Dec 2013 #2

I went in and had anything I was worried about biopsied right then and there. applegrove Dec 2013 #3
