Mole Removal Before or After Chemical Peel?

April 14, 2009
Asked By:yang1021 in fresno, ca

I have a tiny mole on my upper lip that I want to get rid of it. Should I have it removed first then do the peeling, or should I do the opposite? Will it have any effect on my skin or conflict with the chemicals that will be used on my face?
