Can you remove a mole from a belly button?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

Thank you for your question.

Skin lesions can be removed with different procedures such as shave biopsies, or excisions. Removal options depend on the size and location. I highly recommend you consult with a dermatological surgeon or plastic surgeon to have your mole on the belly button evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
