I visited the doctor 3 days ago because of
a bleeding mole on my nose - he froze it
there and then (gosh did that hurt!).
The top layers of the mole peeled off, and
now I am left with a huge angry red lump 3
times the size of the original mole
(HUGE), surrounded by a very dark red
ring. It looks utterly horrific, and it is
also very sore.
It isn't going to be like this forever, is
it? I don't want to even leave the house
looking like this, I am very scared that
he has scarred me badly for life
I have searched the net but not found one
other story about cryotherapy that has
resulted in this appearance! Help!

Not sure where you are, but I have had
several places frozen off. Yes, the place
turns red, seems to look kinda gross for a
while, until it begins to heal. Did y ugo
to a regula physican or dermotologist? I
do not think your nose will look like it
does now in a month or so, but it will
take soem time for this place to heal. I
would call your physican and tell him your
concerns, just to make sure there is not
anything that has gone wrong. This would
at least put your mind at ease!

I don't understand why he froze it. I mean
when I had a mole removed the doctor cut
out the whole mole and send it to biopsy.
Then I had other bump taken off too and
also sent to biopsy. Doctor then decided
to froze it but you see it was after
having a biopsy result. I find it very
strange to froze a mole without having a
diagnosis?
