Can I use at-home plasma pen for flat and raised mole removal?

Question

I have three questions. Can I use a plasma pen on flat moles? Do I need protective eye goggles so that I can look at the beam as it burns away at a mole? What kind of numbing cream do I use , in case i need extra?

Thank you for your question.   I am not familiar with home plasma pens.   My biggest concern with you treating your own moles is the concern for cancer.   Pigmented lesions like moles can be normal and nothing to worry about or the can be cancerous or precancerous.  Before you attempt to do this on your own, I recommend you get them checked out by your PCP or dermatologist.
