I have had this round soft thing in the middle of my eyebrow which I can only assume is a mole. About 6 months ago my hair started losing pigment in that eyebrow as well, not sure if they’re related or not. Anyway I want it removed but know nothing about what it is or what goes into removal, cost, procedure, etc. Thanks!
Answer: Mole removal options Mole removal options are all based on whether a mole is likely benign or malignant. There are many options to remove moles without scars; but in some cases surgery is required when a biopsy is needed. Non-surgical options can minimize scars. Treatment can be performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Answer: Eyebrow Mole From your single photo it does appear that you have a fairly typical nevus/mole of your eyebrow. Please have it examined in person by a surgeon with extensive experience in treating and removing facial moles and growths. After removal your surgeon should send the mole to a pathologist to have it examined for a precise diagnosis, though I expect it will be a benign growth. Removal of facial moles is not a medically necessary procedure and not covered by health insurance as you recognize. Costs vary widely based on the experience of your surgeon along with the particular challenges that each mole presents. Eyebrow moles of course involve the eyebrow hairs and scarring, hair loss, and asymmetry of the eyebrows are a few of the challenges. Best of luck finding an experienced surgeon to help you, Patients travel to me from great distances for my experience in removing facial moles, growths, cysts, xanthelasmas, and keratoses.

Answer: Eyebrow mole Thank you for your photo. It appears you have most likely a benign mole or nevus of the skin in the eyebrow. This can be removed and the normal hair-bearing skin brought back together. The procedure is done quickly in the office with local anesthetic. You will likely have stitches that will be removed in a week. The mole can be sent to the laboratory where it will be looked under a microscope to determine what type of mole it is although most of these are just benign/normal moles. Hope this helps!
