Does Mole Removal by Electrocautery Cause Bad Scarring? I've been self conscious of a small black-dotted mole (sharp tip of a pencil) between my eyebrows. I went to an esthetician for consultation. She recommended electrocautery and that its a minor procedure. She said either there will be no scar or that it will be very minimal. Now I understand that it will not be sent to pathology. I just wanted to know if the procedure will cause bad scarring or anything undesirable. Can anyone give me some sort of advice? Thank you very much.

A: Mole on face

Dear Space Odyssey, moles on face are removed because of "looks" or because of uncertainty about nature/behavior. Your dermatologist would be best equipped to discuss both issues with you. A punch excision & closure with 1 , or 2 stitchse would give an excellent result, specially in the area between the brows. another option is a laser that targets black/brown color.

Do I Need to Get my Mole Removed off of my Chest? I have a lot of moles, but I have a huge mole on my chest and it above the skin its pink and I've had it for like 13 years and I want to know if it is cancer and what I should do???

A: mole check

Most likely this is a benign growth. Your dermatologist can evaluate this by history & clinical examination. A biopsy [ sample] may be needed, if clinically not certain.

Mole with Hairs I have a mole on my left cheek that is hopefully easily removable. My concern is that there are a few hairs growing out of it that I tweeze. Their growth will probably impede healing, so they would need to be removed. Will they be removed via the mole removal, or do they grow so deeply that a separate procedure is required?

A: moles with hair

An excision of the mole would definitely remove both the pigment cells & the hairs in the mole. Should you desire just the hair removal, this can be done with a laser device [such as a diode laser].
