1. If needed, they'd probably do a biopsy the first visit. Doesn't take long nowadays.

Then if needed, they'll have you come back to have it removed. If it's really small, they might take the whole thing off the first time, and have it biopsied. If clear, you wouldn't have to go back.

This is based upon my experience with my weird looking skin lesions.

Whatever, have it checked. It's a lot easier to handle when small. Good luck.
