Can you surgically remove a mole after cryotherapy?

Question

I have a few sessions of cryotherapy on some moles on my face honking that they would be removed however they have just flattened and gone slightly red. I still want to get the removed as they are a big insecurity of mine but can you still get moles removed after cryotherapy?

Thank you for your question. Yes, lesions may be removed after previous cryotherapy. 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.  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.
