Is there a best way to remove this (small, flesh-colored, raised) mole from my nose? (photos)

About fifteen years ago, I noticed a subtle, flesh-colored, raised bump on on the front of my right nostril. The bump has since grown to about twice original size. It is imperceptible in most lighting, but when there are lights overhead, the mole has has its own shadow. I'd be less conscious of a flat scar than of a bump, so I'd like to get rid of it. What are my options? Is there any risk that surgery will cause this currently flesh-colored mole to develop pigment?
