Like most things, an important detail is *approach*—the LEAST painful way to accomplish ANY painful thing is to MINIMIZE your EXPOSURE to the painful aspect! ;)\n\nTo put out the candle with your fingers, bring them in from BELOW the flame, be SURE they are WET (WETTER the BETTER), and then *POOF* SNIP out the FLAME! :)\n\nYes, it might sting a bit, but given that actual "burns" are typically measured in FIRST, SECOND and THIRD DEGREE (the WORST of the three levels, this is when the NERVE has been burned through) based upon actual DAMAGE to the skin, all you will receive from snipping off a CANDLE—using the proper technique—is a mere MILD SINGE! ;)\n\nBest wishes.

Maybe this will help to make your desicion clearer \n\nMole Removal Introduction\n\nMoles, or nevi, are frequently removed for a variety of reasons. They can be removed by 2 surgical methods:\n\nExcision (cutting) with stitches: Click here to view step-by-step photos of this type of mole removal. \n\nExcision with cauterization (a tool is used to burn away the mole): Click here to view step-by-step photos of this type of mole removal.\nAlthough laser has been tried for moles, it is not usually the method of choice for most deep moles because the laser light doesn’t penetrate deeply enough.\nTypically, the doctor or dermatologist (a skin specialist) may choose excision with or without stitches depending on the depth of the mole and the type of cosmetic outcome desired.\n\nWhat is a mole? \n\nMany people refer to a mole as any dark spot or irregularity in the skin. Doctors use different terms. But skin marks such as these are not treated the same way moles are and are not discussed here: \n\nBirthmarks \n\nAbnormal blood vessels (hemangiomas) \n\nKeratoses (benign or precancerous spots, which appear after about age 30 years)\n\nWhat causes moles? \n\nSome people are born with moles. Other moles appear over time. \n\nSun exposure seems to play a role in the development of moles and may even play a role in the development of atypical, or dysplastic, moles. \n\nThe role of heredity cannot be underemphasized. Many families have a type of mole known as dysplastic (atypical), which can be associated with a higher frequency of melanoma or skin cancer.\nRisks\n\nRisks of mole removal methods vary from infection to anesthetic allergy and nerve damage. It is always prudent to choose a dermatologist or surgeon with appropriate skills and experience with these removals. This will decrease your risk associated with this procedure.\n\nOther risks vary depending on the area being treated and the method of removal.\nOne of the most common difficulties after mole removal is a scar. Many people will attempt to remove moles for cosmetic reasons, not realizing that each and every removal may result in a scar. Many times your surgeon can give you an idea of the type and location of a scar after mole removal before you make your decision about removal.\n\nMole Removal Preparation\n\nThe area to be treated will be cleansed. Depending on the surgeon’s preferences, this will be done either with alcohol, Betadine, or another suitable material.\nThen the area will be numbed with anesthetic, such as lidocaine. This will not usually take much time to accomplish. Many surgeons prefer to wait after numbing to allow the blood flow to the area to diminish (sometimes up to 15 minutes).\nDepending on the size of mole and method, a drape may be placed over the area to be treated.\n\nDuring the Procedure\n\nRemoval with simple cutting without stitches \n\nThe surgeon takes a scalpel and shaves the mole off flush or slightly below the level of skin.\n\nThen, either an electrical instrument will cauterize or burn the area or a solution will be placed on the area to stop any bleeding. \n\nAfter this, a topical antibiotic is placed on the wound. \n\nThe wound is then covered with a bandage. \n\nThe doctor will give you instructions on how to take care of your wound. You are usually able to leave shortly after.\n\nRemoval by cutting with stitches \n\nMoles removed by excision (cutting) with stitches are usually darker in color or flat moles or both. \n\nThe surgeon maps out the mole and then sterilizes or cleans the area and numbs it. \n\nThen a scalpel is used to cut the mole and a border surrounding the mole. The border size depends on the concern of the surgeon for the mole being removed. \n\nDepending on the depth, stitches are placed either deep (these absorb and do not have to be removed) or on the upper surface of the skin (these don’t absorb and will be removed later).\n\nAfter the Procedure\n\n\nHome care \n\nAfter the procedure, you need to keep a layer

Hi Matthew!\n\nYou emailed me before, and I was just about to respond to your email (I never took it out of my in-box!  I didn't forget you!), but I just logged on to Yahoo! Answers (after a few months of being away) and saw your question here! So, I thought I would answer it here so others could see it too!\n\nYes, it hurts / "burns" a little, but it is so quick, it's like ripping off a band-aid.  AND YOU WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER THEY ARE OUT, that you will forget the pain within a minute.  \n\nMy drains were about 5 to 6 inches long....they were plastic....and they kinda looked like a plastic straw with a little "fanned shape" thing on the end.  I think there were holes both on the straw part and the fan part.  What makes them so uncomfortable is the fact that you basically have an inflexible piece of plastic sticking across your abs!\n\nDo not worry about the drains being removed....it is quick.  Good luck with your surgery....I hope your experience is as good as mine was!!!

hey, \ni had something like that on my chest. so i went to the doctor, and then i went to a skin surgan. The prosedure is EASY ,but it does hurt for about 3 days. \n\nStep 1: \nthe Doctor Wipes the area with alcohole, \nStep 2:\nNumbs the area with a neddle, with ensestasal. {it numbs the area}\nStep 3: GROSS\nThe Doctor uses tweesers to cut open the bump, and so it bleeds ewww\nStep 4:\nThe Doctor Wipes the area with a certain drug, that stops the bleeding\nStep 5:\nHe puts a cathoder inside the wound, wich will collect all the puss, that will drain out, of the wound. \nStep 6:\nHe secures the Cathoder under the skin and puts bandeges over the wound. \nKeep changeing the bandgedges every so often, and when it is heild, the catedor will fall out, DO NOT FORCCE IT, OR YOU WILL HAVE MORE TROUBLE! Good Luck

I've had mine done and it doesn't really hurt that bad.Some places will numb you before they Peirce it.Just remember to practice good hygiene and NO SEX for at least 2 weeks to allow for healing.If you want to numb it yourself......use orajel or some other teething remedy.

I've heard it hurts a lot.  But a scar shouldn't make a difference.  Actually, if anything, it might be less painful.  Sometimes scar tissue loses sensitivity, but as far as I know, once a scar is healed, it does not gain sensitivity.

I have had one removed.  They will shoot you up with local anesthesia, it doesn't hurt a bit.  Maybe a bit of pressure/pulling sensation, but no pain.  Use Neosporin scar solution or vitamin E oil afterward to prevent scarring.  Good luck!

My husband had a black mole on his face, about 3mm in \ncircumference and about 1mm thick.  The dermatologist\ncharged $250 and got rid of five or six of his other spots.  Local anesthetics and stitches on the mole was required. Plus, the check up a month later was free.\n\nIf your mole is unusally wide and thick, with uneven roughness, check with a licensed doctor to make sure it's not symptoms of a serious skin disease.  If you go to\none of those shady places that operate without a medical\nlicense (which exists in major US cities), the cost will be considerably less but they sure\nwould not have malpractice insurance...

I've had a few moles removed. I had two sliced off and that was quite easy and didn't leave much of a scar - just a white spot. The other two I had cut out and that was less easy but still nothing major. My Mum had a melanoma removed. She has a big hole in her leg but fortunately it hadn't spread. Get any moles you're vaguely worried about off and then you won't have to worry about them developing into something nasty later.

no it will actually be a little more difficult to get them out but you may get away without stitches if there is no incision necessary.  either way it sucks but you shouldn't know anything about it since you'll be knocked out.  personally, i prefer to take out erupted third molars just cause i don't have to wonder where they are.

it doesn't hurt one bit. they numb your mole with a shot. the shot doesnt hurt at all. i have the biggest fear of needles and i'm fine. then if it is raised then they just scrape it off but if it is even with your skin then they scoop it out like ice cream. depending on the doctor and size they will pull it together with stitches or leave it. if you have the option take the stitches b/c if they leave it then it raises and looks bad. i have had a few removed and all those times i didnt even realize they were finished because i didn't feel a thing. Also, my insurance covered it so I am not sure how much it costs. Good luck with it. :)

That sounds very serious and painful..if I were you I think I would get a second opinion because with all the things that they have in the medical world you may can have them removed by laser surgery...check it out.

I have had one removed with lazers. They numb up the area first then they cut it out with lazers. My wound bled badly and the wart is comming back. Just so you know a wart is a defect in the immune system thats what causes them. Your daughter might have them for the rest of her life. But she is young so her immune systme might take care of the problem eventually. I wouldn't recomed the sugery unless the wart is very large and noticable it is very painful about a day after the sugery. Hope this helps you make a decision.

I'm a guy, but my wife had one done last year.  She said that after numbness went away, it did hurt a little.  I hope that you'll be okay and hope that they don't find anyhting wrong after doing the biopsy.  My prayers are with you.  Good Luck!!
