Thank you for suggesting about excision. Yes, I've read often on this
site about excision surgery. I will take a look into that. I don't
believe anybody in my state performs excision surgery so I may have to
travel for it. If things get too unbearable, that would be one of my
options. I wouldn't have known about that type of surgery before I came
into this site. Thanks!
