I have a mole on my vagina near my clitoris but my pube area. It's raised and brown. I've had it since birth but I want to get it removed for a couple reasons and I'm really scared that it could be cancerous or something. It doesn't bother me in any way other than I don't like it there. I'm a big baby when it comes to pain I'm 17 and still hate getting shots. What would the best method be (no pain, quickest, etc). Thank you.

Atypia is not uncommon, but dysplasia can be a risk factor for cancer progression. I would avoid sun tanning any further and maintain close vigilance of future moles. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Many moles can become traumatized and lead to bleeding and redness. If you think your daughter's mole has become infected ( increased redness/swelling, pain, or yellow drainage) I would recommend a visit to a board certified dermatologist for evaluation.
