Which is a Better for Cosmetic Purposes for a 2mm Mole on Nose, Dermal Punch or Cutting with Knife?

February 12, 2013
Asked By:cosmeticworld in Long Beach, CA

We are asking this question because we have had 2 consultations with 2 different doctors. One of them prefers punching it since it is small and the other wants to cut elliptically. We are aware we can not avoid the scar and we would want to know which scars less.
