I would not recommend attempting to permanently make a mole darker.  If you would like the mole removed and it is raised, this can normally be removed by shaving it off.

The mole on your upper lip appears to be raised.  If that is the case, it could be shaved off to remove it.

Mole removal can be performed with minimal scarring. Your mole may require an additional surgical biopsy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist about their recommendations after your mole removal. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield for 6 weeks to help promote healing. Best, Dr. Emer

Symptomatic moles should be biopsied. If normal, then minimal scar options are available to remove the mole. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
