anyone ever have a mole on their foot biopsied?

I see a foot doctor once in a while cause of fungus issues, the last time I went I said something like look at the moles only cause I've never noticed them before being there, kind of like out of conversation, he looked at them and said one was irregular, so I had to go see a dermatologist yesterday and they did a biopsy on them, just wondered what happens if it is cancer, will they take my foot off?

I had it done Monday ( skin cancer / squamous cell carcinoma).
They numbed it up with a few pricks from a needle.
Cut it out with a scalpel.
Stitched it up.
It was over in 15 minutes.
No bigggeee.

@DallasCowboysFan did they do a Mohs procedure?

@samueltyler2 No, they only do that on your face, this was on my arm.

@DallasCowboysFan i always think of it as the best approach to insure all of the cancer is removed. Certainly in the face it allows for limited tissue removal while ensuring for molete removal.
