Late last year, I went to Dr. Abate to remove a small angioma in my face. She suggested to remove…read morethe angioma by laser and also to remove a few dark spots in the face. I agreed, stressing, though, that my first priority was the removal of the angioma. She noted a growth between my upper lip and my nose. She thought that it might be skin cancer. She shaved it and sent the sample to a pathology lab for analysis. I paid $250.00 and left. A few days later I realized that the angioma was still there. After a couple of weeks, the pathology report determined that cancer cells were not detected in the sample and that the growth was probably a wart, even though at the time no HPV viral particles were detected. The shaving has left a noticeable scar in my face. Earlier this week, and about four months after I saw Dr. Abate, her nurse told me to see Dr. Abate to check the surgery. I said that I was not going to see again a dermatologist who cannot remove a small angioma and cannot differentiate between basal cell carcinoma and a wart. A wart that can be treated by freezing, leaving no very visible scar. Apparently Dr. Abate was offended by my remark. I realize that I was abrupt and not very diplomatic, but what I said is true: I still have the angioma, there was not cancer, and I am left with an avoidable scar in the middle of my face.
