I have this huge mole sitting on my lower eyelid and a couple of small ones that I can tell are getting bigger. What type of doctor would be best to remove them?

From board-certified doctors and trusted medical professionals
Flat brown moles on the face can be removed with hyfrecation if they are purely epidermal or excision if a surgical specimen is required. Mole removal can be easy if the right treatments are undertaken.
Each insurance carrier and plan has different rules about what is considered medically necessary and covered. You have to check with your individual plan. Cosmetic mole removal is generally not covered by any plans.
Sometimes if not all of the mole is removed, there is a chance for the pigmented cells to return. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
