Asked By:xx3leah7xx

I have a mole on my left shin, right in the middle. It's not too big, but i hate it. Nothing is wrong with it, i just dislike its appearance and have decided to get it removed. The dermatologist said she could do it no problem and she gave me all the info and my options. But, my mother is concerned about the scar. She thinks that i should go to a plastic surgeon to avoid major scarring. Advice?
