I have had a small mole on my bottom lip for about 3 years. It has never caused me great concern and hasn’t been super noticeable. After my recent pregnancy it has grown and become darker - to where people are commenting on it and it looks more like a sore. What are my options for removal?

Answer: Lip mole Difficult to determine diagnosis based off the images, but a small vertical excisional biopsy of the mole should heal well and hide within the lip creases. I would seek out a plastic surgeon to perform this procedure. Hope this helps. Dr. W

Answer: Skin evaluation Thank you for your question and photographs. It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum, but from what I can see, it can be a mole or blood vessel lesion called an angioma. Depending on the type of lesion, removal options can vary from cryotherapy (freezing) to shave biopsy or excision. Each option comes with different risks. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to have your skin evaluated and to discuss appropriate removal options. Take care and good luck.
