So I have a mole located on my Philtrum. How much do you think it would cost to get it removed?

Question

The mole is about a centemeter from my lip in about the middle of my philtrum, the mole is not touching my nose, but very close.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest seeing an expert this can be removed in the office and there are many options depending on the type of mole. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.  A biopsy of the mole with either a punch of shave biopsy typically costs between $100-$160.  The mole is usually sent to the pathologist to look at it under the microscope to ensure it is not cancerous.  The processing of the glass slide and examination by a pathologist is usually another $100.  If the mole has been changing, itches, or bothers you, insurance may pay for the cost of the biopsy and pathology read.  I wish you the best!
