What procedure should I get done for dermatofibroma? (Photo)

August 5, 2022
Asked By:Freea in Fullerton, California

I had a mole here. But scraped it off when I was young and now it’s a dermatofibroma. I hate it & want it removed but don’t want a scar. What should I get done , get it surgically removed then laser? Or just a certain laser done? I also REALLY dont want it growing back
