I know they sometimes try to call these type of problems "cosmetic surgery" (i.e. you pay) if it is not a major bother/worry, so the doctors wait till it does potentially pose a health risk in order for you to get it done free. Free is good.

I had some broken blood vessels (can't remember the medical name) on my neck and chest when I went in to have that cyst removed. She threw in burning them off while I was there, so it worked out well.

Good luck!
