I have 2-3 small moles on my eyelid. It’s flat and brown (benign). I tried to get the one on the right removed about 10 years ago. It used to be darker and slightly bigger. After about a year, it came back and kinda split into 2 (but lighter color). I would like to remove all 3 and was wondering what is the best option for this. Should I go to dermatologist again and have them remove it with numbing cream & scalpel and do laser OR do laser? I’ve never done laser before and unsure how safe it is since the moles are on my eyelid. What’s the aftercare/side effects? And how much would it cost roughly? They’re small and light in color, but it still bothers me.
