Mole removal... who to see?

[Mother Goose]

Get your GP to give you a referral to your public hospital dermatology or plastics clincs. Dermatology is more relevant and more likely to do it. Having it done in the public hospital system won't cost you anything although their might be a bit of a wait. We do them all the time at work. It is a short proceedure - maybe 20 minutes at most. Can't speak of the people you are likely to see, but the Registrar I work with at the moment is BRILLIANT. Does a great job and patients hardly have a scar at all! They also send the mole off for pathology just to make sure there isn't anything nasty in it.

If it was me then 100% a plastic surgeon.

I guess it depends on if you mind having a scar or not. I had one done under my eye a few years ago - and there is no scar whatsoever.

Will def cost more though. They also send off for pathology testing, same as a dermatologist which also costs extra.

Thank you all very much. MG, I hadn't thought of doing it through the hospital.
I feel like I have a clue now and I'll know what to ask the GP. Thanks again everybody.
