Hello.

I have a question to ask for my uncle.

His son has a mole on his back, it is flat and black and the doctors gave it a special name but I cant remember that name :rolleyes:

Anyway, the child was booked in to the hospital to have the mole thing removed and the doctors said they will be using general anaesthetic.

My uncle just wanted to know if the general anesthetic on a 5 year old child for removing the mole is completely neccessary or whether just numbing the area around the mole will be ok.

Just need to know what regular practices for removing a mole on a child would be really. My uncle is a bit unsure, living in spain and all and he is just a bit concerned over his son.

Thanks,
