How do I remove this mole/cyst? (Photo)

December 3, 2024
Asked By:linneayoung in Layton, Utah

i got a procedure about two years ago to get it burnt off, but it grew back. it’s a small to medium sized bump in between my eyebrows, but not quite right in the middle. some days it’s more skin colored, others it’s a light pink. it turns red when it’s scratched or touched too much. i’ve had it my whole life. i want to get it removed again because im not sure the plastic surgeon did the right procedure. he predicted it would grow back. i want the least amount of scarring possible.
