Anytime you surgically remove a mole, there will be a scar.  Depending on post-care and how you heal, you may have a scar that is barely visible or one that is visible.  You will have to decide if it is worth the risk of having a scar in its place.

Alberto de la Fuente Garcia, MD · Answer

Yes, every single treatmet that implicates removing skin will leave a scar, sometimes barley visible, sometimes more visible and also depends if you have a history of keloids or bad scarring before. When we remove moles, we change the mole for a scar, so that's your call. Do you prefer a mole or a scar?

Ken Landow, MD · Answer

it's a good idea to count on a little scar...hopefully the mole is small and the scar will be hardly visible...but there's always a small risk...you and your doctor can decide if the benefit is worth the risk...

Mitchell Schwartz, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Typically the best way to remove moles in this location is by doing an excision with suture closure using both dissolving and non-dissolving sutures to give the best cosmetic result. This should result in a thin, linear scar. All methods of surgery will leave a scar but the trick is to minimize the scar by using the proper technique.
