The Mole

I have had this mole on my chin forever. Most of the time I hardly notice it. Every once in a while it bothers me or I might feel self conscious, but it really isn't that big of a deal. This was the only picture I could find that you could even see it.

About 6 months ago I was at lunch with a good friend whom I have known for YEARS! While we were eating she so kindly let me know I had some food on my face. I wiped my face and she said it was still there. I realized where it was and kindly informed her that it wasn't coming off. It is a mole.

Since then I have been talking about getting it removed. It is time. I mentioned it to Quinn and my parents. Kept thinking about it but didn't do anything. I knew I needed to call a dermatologist, but when. How involved is this? Do I make an initial appointment and then come back? How much is it going to cost? Because of all these questions I just kept putting it off.

Well, about a month ago our ward had an activity and we had corn on the cob. I was over talking to our wonderful Relief Society president when her kind and helpful husband noticed I had some corn on my chin so he proceeded to wipe my chin. Oh, didn't get it. Try a second time. Still there. Third... Fourth. Four times! I finally realize what is happening and told him it was a mole. It isn't coming off. He was extremely embarrassed, I was a little embarrassed and I think his wife was going to kill him.

The following Monday I called the dermatologist. I went in on Tuesday and it was gone. Because it would get irritated at times insurance even paid for it.

I know that poor man was embarrassed but I am very grateful. I had been meaning to do that for quite some time. I realized I needed to do this so that I won't put others in the same situation. It has also helped me do a few other things I have put off because of the mounting questions. So thank you corn on my chin.
