I have a small light brown mole on my inner labia RIGHT next to my clitoris (about 1/16 inch away). My dermatologist recommended biopsying/removing it, but I am concerned about nerve damage and/or pain during the injection of the anesthetic and after the removal. Should I be seeing a gyn/onc doctor or another specialist for this - or will the procedure to remove the mole be the same regardless.

It may be a Becker's nevus. This is a non-cancerous growth. Differin gel will not remove it. See a dermatologist if you are concerned about the lesion.
I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for an evaluation, without any photos there is no way for us to determine the best options for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
Moles should not become irritated. If there was no external trauma, the body's immune system may be reacting to it. You should have it looked at by a dermatologist and consider having it removed and tested.
