| Skin Removal
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good body mod people in the uk who do skin removal.
Basically, I've got a hideous blowout on my left ear. It isn't the normal sort where there's some excess skin around the tunnel. This is proper "can't get a tunnel in, I have lump on my ear".
The only way I can describe it is like a malteser & it's about as hard as one too.
If anyone could recommend someone who could remove this, I'd be really grateful. The only person who had been referred to me before was from America & was gonna charge over 200 quid to get rid. |

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. http://www.horrorphile.net/images/th...d-levine12.jpg

Aye. You don’t go to a body mod person to get that fixed, you go to your GP.

see I think I'm well past the point of rubbing lotion on it for it to go away.
I did think about going to the doctor's but will they remove it on the NHS even though I caused it myself? | |

Don't see why not, I'm working in a hospital department that does just that sort of thing. They fix noses that got broke when folk fell down drunk, they take thyroids out for folk who've smoked thirty a day their entire lives, they will even pin your ears even though they did it already last month but apparently it was your twin that turned up and nicked that slot. They even took a guy's earlobes OFF for him 
You need a referral from your GP though,

You're right, though, a HUGE amount of money is spent in the NHS on self-inflicted conditions.

thyroid cancer! 
But more seriously; I agree a lot of money is spent on self-inflicted conditions, but once you start drawing lines about who you will and won't treat, depending what they've been up to, I think that's just gratuitously taking a can opener to a big tin marked "WORMS". Probably for another thread then

| Re: Skin Removal
Thyroid tumours are almost all auto-immune...
But yeh, did you watch that program last night called 'Hospital'? It pretty much summed up my thoughts on it. A huge majority of medical admissions to hospital can be boiled down to self-inflicted issues (alcohol excess, smoking, poor diet, obesity etc etc) but we, as medical professionals, CANNOT be judgmental, but rather are duty-bound to provide an equal level of care for all.
