What to Do About Growing Mole Near Eye?

DesignDeevaJun 14, 2010
I have a Growth beside my eye. It started out as cute and distinguishing little mole but its growing too much for me now. I've been to a dermatologist which said it wasn't harmful. I don't want it to get bigger. I have another growing in the same place on the other eye. What do I do?

If you are experiencing pain after your procedure, then I would recommend that you see your physician for follow-up.

With any sort or surgery, there is always going to be a scar, no matter what someone tells you.  Thye only thing that you cna do to help it along is two things; 1  Sunscreen - SPF 15 or higher everyday on the area.  The more the UV rays beat down on it, the longer it will stay...

This mole is relatively straightforward to remove and requires only local anesthesia.  I would recommend that your physician have it evaluated as a specimen by a pathologist.

I would recommend that you have this lesion treated by shave excision and sent to pathology.  With this procedure, your hair will stay intact.  Since the lesion is changing and sometimes painful, your insurance should cover the procedure.

Most derm surgeons will be happy to help patients out with financial concerns for multiple mole removals. Usually it is $175 each to shave off and $250-350 each to excise for facial moles but I think your $400 would be just fine. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
