Hi there, I have a raised mole on my face that I've had my entire life. My doctor is not concerned about it being cancerous. I cut it dermaplaning a few years ago and it left a dark ring or scar. As a result, there are darker brown parts on it that I don't like. I also don't love how much it projects out. I was wondering whether it would be possible to lighten the mole to make it a uniform colour, or reduce it's size/projection a bit? Thank you very much
I have a weird growth on my nose. It started out as a barely noticeable bump, but it has been growing slowly over a couple of years. I was NOT born with it. It showed up in young adulthood. Can anyone tell me what it is and/or how to get rid of it? It doesn't hurt and feels pretty firm, but it's noticeable and I hate it.
I have a mole on my face (glabella) and have received two different recommendations from two plastic surgeons. One recommended full excision, while the other advised against excision due to the potential for scarring in such a visible area and suggested a shave removal instead. My dermatologist isn't concerned about the mole from a medical standpoint and is leaving the decision up to me based on my preference. I understand that shave removal can carry a higher risk of regrowth, but Im also concerned about the potential scarring from a full excision. Since this is on my face, cosmetic outcome is really important to me. Id love to hear any insights regarding which option is best from a cosmetic perspective.
I have 2-3 small moles on my eyelid. Its flat and brown (benign). I tried to get the one on the right removed about 10 years ago. It used to be darker and slightly bigger. After about a year, it came back and kinda split into 2 (but lighter color). I would like to remove all 3 and was wondering what is the best option for this. Should I go to dermatologist again and have them remove it with numbing cream & scalpel and do laser OR do laser? Ive never done laser before and unsure how safe it is since the moles are on my eyelid. Whats the aftercare/side effects? And how much would it cost roughly? Theyre small and light in color, but it still bothers me.
i got a procedure about two years ago to get it burnt off, but it grew back. its a small to medium sized bump in between my eyebrows, but not quite right in the middle. some days its more skin colored, others its a light pink. it turns red when its scratched or touched too much. ive had it my whole life. i want to get it removed again because im not sure the plastic surgeon did the right procedure. he predicted it would grow back. i want the least amount of scarring possible.
I had a mole excised from my chin. And the line healed well, but the two ends of the excision lines are pointy. They look like pimples. For over a year, we tried steroid shots to reduce the skin but that didnt work.
I had a mole removed 15 years ago on the side/tip of my nose. The scar has been very noticeable when light hits my nose ever since, and Im wondering if I have options to improve it? Now that the mole came back its a mix of depression and raised mole tissue in the center.
