5mm Black/Raised Mole On My Cheek. If My General Physician Removes it, Will it Scar?
i have a mole right in the middle of my cheek. it is about 5mm and black and a little raised. it looks really bad because my skin is floor less. i have a darkish tan skin colour. i want to get it removed by my GP, she states she has been removing moles for years but also says its totally upto me if i would like to go elsewhere. im wondering if i will get a scar as my skin is darker. although my scars dp seem to fade away into nothing after time???

I would highly recommend that you see a board certified facial plastic surgeon for an evaluation and possible treatment of your mole.

Mole removal on the cheek
A 5mm mole in the middle of your cheek is a good sized mole and, if not removed properly, can leave a significant scar. To have the best chance for an optimal result, I recommend you have your mole removed by either a board certified dermatologist that specialized in surgery or a plastic surgeon. Because of it's dark color, it is also important that the tissue be microscopically examined after the mole is removed.
