Hello, I have a mole on the shaft of my penis. It is 5mm in diameter and barely raised, therefore it doesn't bother me during sex. However, I don't like how it looks and would like to have it removed but I fear of a big scar due to the size of the mole and how thin the skin is. Should I remove it at all?
