I am concerned about a mole on my scalp, what is best course of action? (Photo)

Question

do I see a dermatologist or GP to get this checked?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

The mole on your scalp should be examined and biopsied by a board certified dermatologist.  The pathology is necessary to determine if the mole is benign or not.  Please have it examined and let me know the results.
