This involves stitching and excessive "healing" time. We are tired of having the Frankenstein look for several months. Does any one use a dermatologist who is not so CUT happy?


One thing I found in Florida is seems like MOST of them like to over cut.
Once back home this spring my doc in Mich said there was no way I needed to be cut in three spots after only three month from when he say me.

He, with tongue in cheek, said "the Florida Doc's are known for cutting ".

Got to find some good doc's down here.
