Can I get a mole removed from my vagina?

Question

I have a mole on my vagina, I don't like it because it rises up and is kind of ugly. I've heard you can get it removed but is it expensive and painful?

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

You can get a "mole" removed from your vagina, How ever not all growths are moles so you should see a Dermatologist to have a close up opinion, from there they are able to decide how they would remove it and if it would require testing and if it would need to be stitched after removal. All depending on if this is a mole or a different form of a growth.

Ken Landow, MD · Answer

the real issue is whether the "mole" is really a mole...not too likely if it's actually inside your vagina...lots of other causes much more likely...suggest you either see a gynecologist or a dermatologist for an evaluation of the area...then you can discuss what constitutes the best course of action...

Although it may sound uncomfortable, Dermatologists do this procedure frequently.  You can get a mole anywhere there is skin.  But, don't also assume that every growth is a mole.  Once you see a Dermatologist for an evaluation, the area is gently numbed with Lidocaine and the mole can often be removed without stitches.  Any growth removed from your body should be sent to evaluate under the microscope to confirm that it is benign.

Actually as scary as this sounds in skilled hands its a pretty gentle, simple procedure. I'd consult w/the dermatologist in your area!
