Friday Confessional #4

So I had some moles removed (that is not my confession) on my face. Two to be precise. They were not cancerous or anything, just ugly. I had an appointment scheduled yesterday and I thought it was just to look at them, not to actually get them removed. So when they said they were going to do it at that appointment I thought that was great. Then after they had already started the doctor says, "You'll need to leave a Band-aid on these for 7 days." One is right below my lip and I can't keep a Band-aid there and talk or eat. Since I need to talk and eat they said I could leave the Band-aid off but keep Vaseline on it. It looks gross. The Band-aid looks worse though. And the other mole on the side of my face is mostly covered by my bangs, but since I was Deb from Napoleon Dynamite and was rocking a side ponytail tonight, it showed. I didn't think ahead to all of the Halloween stuff, parties, carnivals, etc. Why didn't I wait a week? To be honest I didn't think through the whole process... meaning that my moles wouldn't just vanish, there would be scars where they used to be. It's really bothering me. Anyway, this is getting long and drawn out. But my confession is this: I now know that I am a little more vain than I thought I was. The end.

I had s mole on my neck removed in high school. I wore turtlenecks for weeks until it looked better. Don't worry, on mine, it didn't leave a noticeable scar.

Don't worry, everyone probably just thinks it's a zit.

Can I just comment that I went in to the dermatologist to get a mole removed from my neck for simply aesthetics.....They called me back and said it was cancer..... They cut a 2 and 1/2 inch circle into my neck, then shut it straight... The scar isn't that bad, but everyone thinks that it is not a scar but instead a giant hickey, I'll have it the rest of my life..... So that you had a band aide on your mouth for a week is pretty weak sauce..... haha
