How much will it cost to have a biopsy done on a mole about the size of a pencil eraser?

I just wanted an approximate amount. Im just worried because I don't have insurance. I would like an answer from someone who has had it done...even a price range.. anything, so I can figure out what to do.

The answer is: $80-$100.

Probably not too much, if surgery is not the method used. Liquid nitrogen works fine, is not painful and does not cost very much. Electrocautery works well, but it costs a bit more. Hopefully, that mole is a nevus & not melanoma. A nevus has a regular margin and regular color. That is, it is not mottled. If it is irregular run to a doctor and have it removed. Melanoma spotted and treated early on, has an almost 100% cure rate. Caught later the rate drops to 60% and gets worse with time. Treat it seriously. I saved a friends life by cajoing her to get it removed. It turned out to be melanoma and she is still fine after 15 years. Three acwuaintences tarried and eventually died because of that cancer. (it spreads quickly and is resistant to anti-cancer drugs.)
Good luck.

no more than $100 no matter where you are from
i grantee you
if someone who agrees to take off the mole charges you more
you are being taken advantage of
don't go through with it if it exceeds the limit i told you go to someone else
you can go to any doctor to make an appointment
that is recommended he/she will need to prepare before hand the necessary tools
HOPE YOU DO FIND THE MONEY
I DON'T THINK YOU NEED INSURANCE TO COVER THIS BILL BECAUSE IT IS NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL IF YOU GET THE PROFESSIONAL TO DO THE JOB

I think that in the uk they are about £60 for each mole, so i guess that would be about $100 in the US.. maybe a little cheaper if you shop around.

It can cost around couple thousand dollars, if you go to a good doctor....
But dont do it, i think a mole on a woman's body can be very sexy... doesnt matter where it is.... I am sure there are many who would agree with me....

Ask you Doctor would be the most logical thing to do

That depends on where you live. Ask your doctor.
