I saw the dermatologist today, and had the weird mole on my toe biopsied (which pretty much removed the whole thing).

Back in two weeks to get the stitches out, and the doctor gave me a prescription for Keflex as a precaution to be filled if it gets infected. Obviously toes are already infection-prone, and with an immunosuppressant mixed in, it’s not ideal. He was great about giving me the script in advance, which is not his usual practice. He was very conscious of the effects of Humira, and my history of gross infections, so that was great!

When I go back, he said he should also have biopsy results. He’s pretty confident it wasn’t a melanoma, but if that’s the case, I’ll be referred to a plastic surgeon to have more toe removed ☹️

I’m pretty sure it’s benign but I’m also crossing my fingers! Neither my family doctor, nor the dermatologist really liked the look of it.

Get your skin checks done, Crohnies!
