So for those of you who have noticed the little bumps of Finnley's forehead, we have seen a pediatric dermatologist at Naval Portsmouth, VA. They told us that it was a Nevius Sebeccas, which in regular people terms is a birth mark made of oil glands that grow the wrong direction. So they actually referred us to a plastic surgeon at the same hospital to discuss removal. After we saw both doctors we decided to have it removed. We weighed the pros and cons and the pros outweighed the cons. The doctors told us that it could get bigger and worse, it could start growing things underneath it that could lead to types of cancers. So we set the date for removal.
The day finally came Tuesday April 21st, we took her in and she had it removed. The scar or cut is much bigger then we thought it would be. They sent the whole thing off to the lab to have it tested to make sure they got it all and that it was all okay. She is doing really good. And chip and lola are being really amazing about it too. Take a look at the before and after.
