It was 6 years after he was born, he got his first mole on his face. In grade 5 he tried to pick if off because the kids were making fun it at school. His little face was a mess. Then out of nowhere turn up these 2 little spider angiomas- broken capillaries. They would become very little in the warm weather but appear again, very big, in colder weather. D's always hated these things on his face. So long story short, after visiting 2 dermatologist who wouldn't do anything about these things, we finally found a dermatologist who was eager to help D and his appearance ---being important especially now that he is in junior high. Yesterday, D overcame his first go with "laser cosmetic surgery". He was so very nervous however the whole thing took only 1 minute for both spots to be lasered off. He didn't cry, flinch or jump and didn't even know the procedure was over. We had to tell him a couple times it was all done. And then a big smile. He said it didn't even hurt. Now a couple of days of purple/red spots and then they should fall off/disappear and then only a small mole left on his face. At this time, he has decided to leave the mole with no treatment, on the advice of the doctor and nurse. This is D after his treatment. Only slight swelling and purplish marks. Nothing big!
