Asked By:andrei555

I am currently on accutane fourth month. I am planning to get a mole removed on my face ( it is not large, about 4 mm in diameter under my nose and it is really raised) I read that i have to wait at least 6 months after accutane to have any procedures done on my face. I really don't want to wait 6 months..it really is destroying my self esteem and i would really like it removed. Is having this procedure going to cause a disfiguring scar? should i go to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
