I had a sore on my lip for quite some time and went to the doctor for something not pretaining to the sore. While I was there I said by the way I have had this sore on my lip that peels but keeps coming back. It was very sore. The doctor took one look at it and said it was cancer and I needed to get it off immediately. He said he didn't think I had caught it in time and put his arm around me. I completely freaked out of course!

I went to a plastic surgeon the next day and he did a biopsy. Two days later he had me back in his office and told me I had squamous cell carcinoma and it would have to be removed. He scheduled it for that week. They took half of my bottom lip off and brought some of my top lip to the bottom and sewed my mouth shut accept for a little spot where I could put a straw. After two weeks they opened it up and did more surgery. I had plastic surgery for the next year but I was lucky I got it in time. I guess I am going on and on about something that probably required a simple answer but I wanted to get my point across that it is very important to get to a doctor early. Do not ignore it. Twelve years later I had to have a squamous cell removed from the other side of my mouth but didn't have to have the flap surgery. Reason being I had gotten into the doctor immediately.

Please get it checked out.

Oh jeeze!

Heh. Hope you're doing alright now, though!

I forgot about the tiny tiny smooth bump below my left ear.. I've never seen any of my moles as I'm too petrified to look at them.

Yeah, will likely get them checked out soon as I get some insurance set up from work.

I had one on my temple removed, then I got more moles that popped up. My doctor told me they were not cancerous and that they would charge to have them removed. My nurse told me she uses molepaste (#1 natural mole and wart remover) at home (cosmetic only) only if the doctor has said they are not cancerous. It cauterizes them with an herbal cream within 20 minutes and worked fantastic.

After asking my doc about a couple moles and him saying they were benign and not to worry about them, the nurse who is a good friend told me about itworkspaste for removal of these. You use it at home and it works great- no problems afterwards, just no moles.

shannon, did you end up getting the moleremoving paste? How did it work for you? Did it hurt?

Hi There!
Yes it worked great with no problems. It only stung for a few seconds after I first applied it. I already ordered another kid and got the emuscar with it. Good stuff.

how long did it take before the scar fell off?

Hi Jenzie,

I am thinking you meant the scab? It was around 10 or 12 days I believe for the scab to fall off if I remember right. I used the emuscar after that to help heal it. I'm not positive if I did that part right - maybe you are supposed to use it right after the paste - at any rate, it worked well and there is only a very faint area that I can barely see where a mole was on one and I can't even see where the other one was.

Sorry Shannon62, I did mean scab and not scar....my bad! Well, I've read that most people used the emuscar after the scab fell off from the itworkspaste, but others started to apply it around the area to soften it more. the main thing is not to pick the scab.
