@runner101 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Waiting to be seen for a dermatologist or any specialist for that matter, when you know there is something wrong, is hard on the nerves, isn't it? One thing that I found helps is to ask them if there is a wait list for cancellations. If that fits your schedule, you can certainly jump ahead in line. I have done that, and told them I'll take any practitioner, at either office. One office is 45 miles away, their other one is 30 miles in the opposite direction. Sometimes it works out.

And yep, they always have to biopsy them. I had two MOHS procedures in less than 3 months. Interesting, the one on top of my knuckle healed better than the other one further up my arm!

Ginger:
Thank you for the information. I did ask to be put on a wait list, however this is the only doctor that I want to see at this point. She is considered a specialist in her field.
