Patient Name: Krishna Singh. Age: 62...
Patient Name: Krishna Singh. Age: 62. Background: A retired history teacher and grandfather of three, known for his warm smile and gentle demeanor. Krishna had a dark, raised mole on his left cheek that he'd had since childhood. Over the past year, his wife noticed it had become slightly asymmetrical and seemed to be growing. Symptoms/History: The mole had changed in size and shape. His primary care physician, during a routine check-up, expressed concern and recommended a dermatology consult. Doctor Recommendation: The dermatologist, after a dermoscopic examination, advised removal for both definitive biopsy (to rule out malignancy) and aesthetic improvement, given its prominent location. Treatment Experience: Krishna was nervous but pragmatic. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic. The surgeon was reassuring, explaining each step. The excision was quick, and stitches were placed meticulously to minimize scarring. Post-Procedure Recovery Outcome: The biopsy came back benign, a huge relief. The stitches healed well. After six months, only a faint, flat, pale line remained, easily concealed if desired. Krishna uses sunscreen diligently. Emotional Journey: Before, he carried a low-grade anxiety about the mole's change and its visual prominence, sometimes feeling self-conscious in photos with his grandchildren. After, he feels a profound sense of relief from the health scare and a quiet confidence. He smiles more freely, no longer instinctively tilting his head to hide his cheek.
