Mole Removal for a 6 Year Old?

September 23, 2009
Asked By:IfItIsToBeDoIt in Tulsa, Oklahoma

My daughter has a mole in her hair line that is flat but seems to be getting larger in diameter (it is a flat, dark mole). She is only 6 and is already aware that she doesn't like it growing there.With the skin so thin and tight on her forehead, is there more harm than good in removing it? Would the scar be bigger/more noticeable than the mole?
