If the mole removal is purely cosmetic, then electrodessication, hyfrecation, or ablation of the mole may be appropriate for the area around the philtrum. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

At this point, local wound care followed by application of Plato's Scar Serum can help improve the chances of normal healing on the skin. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Moles are usually not symptomatic. There may be changes in your mole that require examination or biopsy to source the cause of the itching. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
