I have multipile small moles in my face and some in my nose. Is there a way to get rid of them all?

Question

They appeared short time ago and making my face look bad. Mostly 1mm dots.

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.

DPN's (dermatosis papulosa nigra) are small black brown bumps on the skin and can be removed with a number of different destructive treatments.  Moles need to be biopsied.  Get an evaluation & good luck!

Thanks for your question. If you have many very small moles, you can consider a few options. The best probably would be to use a laser or IPL. Failing that, you can always have them shaved, but very small ones like you are describing would probably do well with less invasive treatments. A topical treatment like Efudex may also be helpful. Good luck!
