Hello, I’m a 26 year old male. And I was wondering about this butt mole I have on top of my right buttocks that I wanna to remove or know of. Had it since my teenage years but now I’m an adult but kinda self conscious about this mole whenever me and my partner are having an intimate moment.

Thank you for your inquiry! A mole excision can be performed for aesthetic purposes under local or general anesthesia. I recommend scheduling a consult with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to create a surgical plan with the goal of achieving your desired outcome as well as providing you with aesthetically pleasing results.

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.

Thank you for reaching out with your concern. It's understandable to feel self-conscious about a mole, especially in intimate situations. Here are a few options you might consider for addressing the mole on your buttocks:

Consultation with a Dermatologist: It's important to have the mole evaluated by a dermatologist to ensure it's benign. A professional assessment can provide peace of mind and guide the decision-making process.

Mole Removal Procedures: If the mole is deemed safe to remove, there are several options available, including:

Surgical Excision: This involves cutting out the mole and stitching the skin back together. It's often used for larger moles or those that may need further examination.
Shave Excision: This technique involves shaving off the mole at the skin's surface and is suitable for smaller moles.
Laser Removal: This method uses laser technology to remove the mole and is often used for flat moles.
Post-Removal Care: After removal, follow your dermatologist's advice on wound care to minimize scarring and ensure proper healing.

It's best to have an in-person consultation to discuss your concerns and explore the most suitable options for you. If you have any other questions or need further information, feel free to ask.
