I’ve had this mole since I was little. I can feel it’s slightly raised but it has never bothered me, just looking to get it removed. Is it possible to do so? How much would it cost to get this mole removed? Would it come back?

Answer: Mole removal Thank you for your question and photographs. There are multiple different techniques to remove a lesion. The spot can be shaved off, which would leave you with a circular, slightly indented scar similar to a chicken pox scar, and the possibility of the lesion returning. The other form of removal would be an excision, which would leave you with a linear scar. Other options include laser treatment. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your lesion evaluated and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.
