Is this a CCC, and ENT? I wouldn't let anyone cut anything off until confirmed by a biopsy if it's cancer,of not, like from a punch, incisional of excisional biopsy. Even if it's a small lump, and lump sounds big, it can go deeper into the musculature, and won't really know until surgery is being done, poseibly needing a graft, aftercare. The other thing, if not done properly, may hace a risk to spread disease.
