Is there any possible way to reduce a mole instead of removing it completely?

Good1252
I have a brown mole that is larger than I would like right in the middle of my forehead. I have had it since birth so it has really become part of my identity. I don’t mind having it at all, I just wish it was slightly smaller. Is there any way to reduce its size or even lighten the color of it? I would hate to have to part with it completely. Thanks.
