Can I remove a mole in a corner of the eye safely? (Photo)

Question

I have a mole in the corner of the eye. It is pretty close. I'm not sure if it is safe to remove this, and what methods you suggest m?

You need an in person consultation to assess the 'mole'. However, it is unlikely to be too close to the eye to remove safely. I would probably advise a tangential or shave excision but an elliptical excision or even an 'in the round' could be appropriate.I advise you to consult a suitably qualified and experience plastic surgeon.Best wishes.

Thank you for your question and photograph. Due to the location of your mole, I highly recommend you consult with an ophthalmologist  (eye surgeon) to have the mole evaluated and to discuss safe and appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
