I have a mole on my cheek that is the diameter of a pencil eraser and is raised 4mm or so. I've had it checked, and have no troubles with it, but is it getting larger with age, and cosmetically, I do not like it. I'm apprehensive to have it removed, but want to. Are there concerns other than scarring? How do I go about finding a doctor qualified to remove it?
I have a facial mole right above the nasolabial fold on the right side of my face. It isn't raised above the skin, per se, but it looks like a small bump. What would be the best option for Mole removal without leaving a scar behind?
the first step is to have it evaluated, and biopsied. In this region of the face, a small biopsy should be done---if the spot turns out to be benign, nothing else may need to be done, and it heals without a scar. If it is a skin cancer, then your dermatologist will help you with the next step of planning treatment....and, yes, you may be left with only a barely visible scar.
I have what I think is a white mole on my shoulder. I don't remember it. Now it is raised with a red circle of inflamation around it. Very painful. My GP blithely said "maybe a little skin cancer - not the kind that spreads". Not to worry. Then gave me Amoxicillin for the infection. I'm terrified. I thought it was a boil and punctured it (I know). No pus - a little blood. I don't think the antibiotic is doing anything. Advice?
Prtizy, go to a dermatologist and get this spot evaluated, and most likely, removed. The initial removal of it will require a simple injection to numb it, and then a piece will be sent to the pathologist to determine exactly what it is. And, then, once the answer is known, the next step will be to plan treatment, IF it is needed. Skin cancer is a possibility, but so is an irritated wart or other benign growth.
