Well, I went to the dermatologist today. I had a mole on my shoulder that was increasing in size and some skin tags I wanted removed. The Doctor, a female, same age as me, 59, examined me from head to toe. Now my arm pits are shaven as well as my arms and legs and I have both ears pierced. My eyebrows have a noticeable arch as well.
She never said a word about any of this. Froze the mole and snipped the skin tags and told me to use a moisturizer on my face and any area exposed to the sun.
She said the mole didn't look like a problem but would have the lab take a look and get back to me.
The reason I am writing this to ask that none of us should avoid going to the Doctor out of fear of being recognized as a CD. They don't care and have seen it all. Health FIRST.
