I had a mole on my forehead since birth and it started to itch and change colors. Also had some scaly, itchy areas on my ear that were bothering me. Went to the dermatologist, Dr. Busquett @ ABMS to get the areas checked out. They recommended removal of the suspicious mole and treatment for the pre-cancerous lesions on my ears (AK confirmed from biopsy).
Went to their surgery center in Wexford (goes by Premier Plastic Surgery) to have the mole removed by the plastic surgeon, Dr. Heil, since it was in the middle of my forehead. Great experience there - taken back quickly, prepped and had the procedure done under local numbing agent. Very happy with results as there is no evidence of a scar whatsoever.
Regarding the AK, had a procedure with light therapy and some kind of drug that they painted on my face. The light activates the drug which kills the cancer cells. They were really good about informing me that the procedure would feel like a real bad sunburn. It did! I did a lot of research on the web before and everyone said the same thing - it's the way the drug works. They put a mini hose with cool air blowing on my face to ease the discomfort. After that they gave me the right creams and products to take care of my face while it healed.
Overall, very pleased with the experience and would recommend to anyone who asked where to go.
