Asked By:Care2live in Los Angeles, CA

I've had this mole since about 10 years old. Started flat and very small over the last 16 years it has raised up and grown in size. I'm now 26 years old and I think its gotten way to big and am looking to get it removed. I'm scared of what the scar may look like. It's in the center of my face what can I expect?
