Jason Emer, MD · Answer

If you are concerned about a mole, or it has symptoms like itching, burning, pain or bleeding, please do not hesitate and have it removed.  Please go to a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in mole removal and lasers so you can limit the scarring.  Best, Dr. Emer.

These are advanced techniques so be sure to get an
experienced cosmetic dermatologist consultation for recommendations and
treatment options. Home based removals are dangerous and you risk the chance of permanent scars.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

You cannot safely remove moles at home. And at worst - I've seen patients with giant infections in their skin from using "home mole removal remedies" they found online. Don't do it. See a professional. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot 
be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person 
treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
