Question about mole removal and biopsy during pregnancy

akat5220

Hi everyone, I am 10 weeks pregnant with my third child, and I went to the dermatologist on Monday for my annual skin exam. My doctor decided to remove a mole that had grown in size and biopsy it. He seemed like he wasn’t concerned, but I think he just wanted to be safe. Of course, I decided to Google out of curiosity while waiting for the biopsy results, and I’m now freaking out from some scary stories I read.

I just wanted to ask if any of you have had moles removed during pregnancy with reassuring outcomes. I feel grateful that I did get it removed, but I’m spiraling worrying if the results come back negative. Thanks in advance for sharing any reassurance you can provide.

I have, actually. I think it just impacts the kind of numbing/anesthesia they can use. No issues for me!
