Anika Kumar, a 28-year-old marketing manager,...
Anika Kumar, a 28-year-old marketing manager, had a small but prominent congenital melanocytic nevus (mole) on the tip of her nose. While benign, it had been a source of teasing in her youth and now caused significant self-consciousness in both professional and social settings. She often found herself angling her face or using makeup to obscure it. During a routine skin check, her dermatologist noted the nevus was stable but understood its psychological impact. He recommended a simple excision via dermato-surgery, performed under local anesthesia, to remove it with minimal scarring. The procedure itself was quick, with Anika feeling only slight pressure. The recovery involved careful wound care for a week, after which the sutures were removed. The final result, after several months of fading, was a nearly imperceptible fine-line scar. Anika's emotional journey shifted from a constant, low-grade anxiety about her appearance to a profound sense of relief and liberation. She no longer mentally 'edits' her face before meetings or photos.
