Dysplastic nevus, pigmented lesion, a mole by any other name.....

So, the wife has had the "suspicious" mole on her right ear removed. She was very brave.


A brief appointment with the Laser clinic at the local hospital confirmed the GP's concerns and so, within the blinking of an eye (or the flapping of an ear!), she was booked in for surgery. (She prefers the term "procedure"), either way a visit to the Minor Plastic Surgery unit was required.


Attentive and very kind hospital staff booked her in, ticked her off a very long Admissions list and we made our way (accompanied by several other outpatients also requiring minor plastic surgery - I spent the time wondering what they were having removed/added!), and within the hour the "op" was over.



A painful weekend ensued but buoyed by packets of Paracetamol the girl done good. Stitches were removed a week ago and to see her little ear now, you'd never know.......we are now awaiting the Consultant's appointment and the results of the biopsy - fingers and toes all crossed for good news - ear ear!!
