My dermatologist used lidocaine with epinephrine to remove a mole while i was pregnant 14 weeks pregnant. was this safe to do?

Yes: Given the limited amount used compared to the body volume it was diluted in I would not consider it a problem.

Dermatologist office called. Tiny mole they removed was mildly dysplatic. He wants to do a larger incision 'just to be safe because of an area of damage skin'. What does this remark mean?
