Can a Mole Be Removed from Chin Without Also Removing Facial Hair? (photo)

November 7, 2012
Asked By:Firedan5415 in San Luis Obispo, CA

I have a semi-flat mole right on the center of my chin that has darkened in pigment. Is shaving an option, or is excision my only choice? I'm concerned with facial hair loss, and obviously the amount of time it will take to heal since it's in a very obvious location.
