I finally took the plunge yesterday and had a lump removed from my forehead that's been there for about 10 years. It had recently started growing again so I decided the best course of action was to have it surgically removed.
So yesterday, thanks to my work health insurance, a very nice plastic surgeon did the procedure for me. It's what they call a Lipoma which is a fatty tumour, and is completely benign.
The whole thing wasn't as traumatic as I originally imagined. I am the original wuss when it comes to needles, injections and anything sharp at the docs, but I faced my phobia of the dentist last year, so I thought this would be a doddle. And to be honest, it was. If anything, having this removed was LESS unpleasant than the dentist. It was very quick, hardly painful at all and aside from feeling a bit woozy when injected with the local anaesthetic, I came through the procedure remarkably calm! Plus I got my own private room to relax in afterwards with a nice cup of tea and a bacon pannini!
After shot = Hair not much better but don't
look as lardy as the other picture!
Stitches to be taken out next week but for now, I have my lovely skin coloured dressing on. Washing my hair is the next fun bit as I have to keep this on for a week. Scar update to follow soon... :O)
