Options for scar and nose mole? (Photo)

November 4, 2024
Asked By:duxvitae in Malvern, Pennsylvania

I had a mole removed 15 years ago on the side/tip of my nose. The scar has been very noticeable when light hits my nose ever since, and I’m wondering if I have options to improve it? Now that the mole came back it’s a mix of depression and raised mole tissue in the center.
