I have a light coloured hard facial mole just under my eye, it is benign(I have seen a dermatoligist who confirms this and says a surgical excision may be difficult in this position) but I am feeling it now when I blink. It is increasing in size. Are there any creams or treatments non-surgical to reduce its size and prevent further growth.

Surgical shave excision can improve the cosmetic appearance of this mole, but there will still remain a chance of regrowth. I would perform the mole removal in my Los Angeles practice under local anesthesia.
