What to Do About Growing Mole Near Eye?

June 14, 2010
Asked By:DesignDeeva in Atlanta, Georgia

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?
