I have a mole on my scalp that is pink and mushroom shaped. What can I do? (Photo)

The mole on your scalp should be surgically removed by a plastic surgeon and sent for pathology. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

If you are concerned about a mole, or it has symptoms like itching, burning, pain or bleeding, please do not hesitate and have it removed. Please go to a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in mole removal and lasers so you can limit the scarring. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is difficult to see a photo, without a history and then, recommend treatment. It would be best to see a dermatologist in your area, who may suggest removal.

This benign appearing mole can be easily excised using local anesthesia in most plastic surgery offices.  Any mass however, should be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist prior to removal.  

Thank you for your question. Moles can come in a variety shapes, sizes, and colors. If moles are benign (non-cancerous) or have no irregularities, then generally, they are left alone. However, if there are any concerning features when moles are evaluated, then they should be removed and examined further to determine if the moles warrant further treatment. I recommend you consult with a dermatologist to evaluate your mole and discuss treatment options. Take care and good luck.
