H.C.
I was born with a rather large birthmark on my lower chin. When I was approx. 11 it began to grow through to the inside of my mouth. I was sent to a plastic surgeon and he had told me the same as they told you. I really didn't want it removed anyways beacause it was part of me. (my mom had always said that it was where the angels kissed me before they sent me down to her:) ) Since it was something we could watch that's what we have done. It now has been 23 years later and i still have no issues. It has not grown any bigger and I have not had any issues. my mom also didn't want to put me through a needless surgery if not nescessary. I am happy with the choice and your pr Physic. needs to understand that is what it is...your decision.It is hard as a parent to know what is right. I think surgery when the chances are so low, is not something that you want to put your son through. Good luck whatever you decide.I hope your son does well.
