Which type of mole removal should be performed on my face? (Photos)

_Rosie_xMar 6, 2018
I have a small mole next to my eyebrow that has been bothering me for years (see photos). In the light, it looks like a lump on my face and as I get older it is becoming more prominent. Can someone please advise whether this mole would be better if it was surgically removed, thus leaving a scar on my face or shaved off? I had a mole on my shoulder shaved and it grew back so I am wondering which the best option is, and which would leave the most aesthetically pleasing result. Thanks

Hi there and thanks for your question and photos.  Based on your photos and symptoms I highly suggest you see a dermatologist for evaluation of the mole and removal/biopsy.  I suggest finding an experienced dermatologist in your area for an in-person consultation. Best of luck and feel better!
