“Facial mole - is the redness after a mole shave scarring?”
Mole removal: Undecided
Cost: $300
Pain: Mild
Review of Mole removal:Pain: Mild
Mole removal satisfaction: Fair
Mole Shave Pros - I was told the chance of scarring was lower, they did it quickly (within five minutes) and I was able to drive out with the mole removed that afternoon. It was relatively inexpensive ($300, covered by insurance).
Cons - I may have scarring but I am unsure.

Noticeable red circle, scarring risk? Taken with cell phone camera, there is more redness in real life
