Yikes, Burrell. But good that it's nothing long-term?
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Burning could mean using liquid nitrogen or something with a local anesthetic. I had that done for an odd bump on my nose and some odd cells on my cheekbone--which I was annoyed by, 'cause I liked that birthmark. Nothing beyond getting rid of some stuff that wasn't a problem at the moment but wasn't serving any useful purpose.
WTF! Burn? No anesthetic?
Yep. Evidently it's a blood vessel thing, and local anesthetic constricts the vessels and makes it temporarily disappear. To make it go away, it needs to be burned without anesthetic. He says it hurts too. He tried to do it to himself at some point, but he couldn't stop flinching.
Burrell, I vote that your Dr. be renamed DR. TMI.
I can't stop laughing, Sox. I think that every time I see him.
Oh yeah. He also chided me for not coming to see him for the past four years. Whatev.
amyth, continued recovery~ma for your brother.
Yeesh, Burrell, never mind.
Always fun when the doctor says "I've had that, it's a bitch." As did my female doc re: a colposcopy.
Condolences to you and yours, Ginger.
{{amyth}} coping~ma to you, and hoping for the best possible outcome for your brother.
I'm sorry, Ginger.
{{{{Ginger}}}} Condolences to you and your family.
Sox, I'm so glad it was nothing!
Thanks so much everyone. I slept most of the day away, and now I have a haircut appointment at 5:30. I still haven't eaten since dinner two days ago (except for a couple of TJ's ginger snaps yesterday) but now I don't have time if I'm going to make my bus to my haircut. Luckily, there's an awesome mediterranean deli next door to my salon. Felafel and dolmades, post-haircut, I think so!
