I also have Kaiser, and they usually have their psychiatrists prescribe antidepressants, in my experience

  1. If you're having a mole removed on anywhere visible (face/neck) or that gets stretched/rubbed (chest, in my case) go to a plastic surgeon. They take insurance - and I learned the hard way that going to a regular dermatologist can lead to scars that look much worse than an irregular pre-cancerous mole. Mole removal isn't the most complicated surgery, but a plastic surgeon knows more about minimizing scarring. Sounds like you have an existing issue - so call around and go for the first available. Any dermatologist should be able to eye something irregular and do a quick biopsy.

You’re so spot on. I actually had one recently removed that came back positive for early stage melanoma. Just my luck. While it’s gone I need to find someone in dc who I can follow up with. I suppose any dermatologist will do though!
