I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation and after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The decision to shave vs. excise depends on the size, shape, location and type of mole that you are talking about. Organizing a consultation with a plastic surgeon can help shed some light on which options might be the best for you!
