Oh my gosh I just had my scouting biopsies done (6 of them) 2 weeks ago and know what you mean by the anesthesia shots - they really hurt! Actually the first time I got a biospy - it was from a ob/gyn not a Mohs surgeon and she didn't give me any anesthesia shots - only a numbing cream when she took my vulva biopsy. It hurt so bad. It wasn't until I talked to a dermatologist friend and the Mohs surgeon where they told me that my ob/gyn should not have done that.
