Removing flesh-toned mole on head

texan75
I have an ugly big mole on my head and I want to have it removed. It is of the same color of my scalp and its shape has changed, it looks kind of like a mushroom with thin edges. It is very soft and sometimes it hurts. I have a hard time getting my hair done because I am embarrassed and I never let anyone run their fingers through my hair for the same reason. How would that get removed? Would they need to shave my hair? Would the insurance cover the removal. I am a female by the way. Thanks.
