Haven’t had one on my face (yet). He took two off my back this year, tho’. I had melanoma about 20 years ago. He had to go in twice for that, but he got it all!
For many ‘pluggers’ it isn’t about blemishes but skin cancers. Like basal cell carcinoma. They develop primarily in sun-exposed skin — face, neck, scalp. Most common, I believe, in people with fair skin, but that may just be because we were stupid enough in our youth to spend hours in the sun trying to get a tan. Fairly easy to get rid of, but if you wait too long, can affect the hairline. The key is to remove them when they are very small (sometimes only your dermatologist can see them). My barber suggested I see a skin doctor about 30 years ago, because she was worried about a ‘little’ spot on the top of my head. I couldn’t see it or even feel it, but it was there.

I have serveral skin tabs I’d like to get removed but I’m afraid my insurance wouldn’t pay for them.

He might also loose face telling his buddies that he went to see the dermatologist.

Made me join the sunshade club. Hats and long sleeves when I’m out in the sun for the afternoon.
