Mole in/near vagina - what can be done to have it removed? (Photo)

Question

Hello I have attached a picture of what is on/near my vagina and I’m needing to know what it is and what further steps can be taken to have it removed? Thank you

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

It is a relatively simple procedure that can be done by a dermatologist. The lesion is numbed and removed. We also send it for pathology examination to ensure there is nothing suspicious. If you leave close to NYC, I would be happy to assist you with this. Best of luck, Dr. K.

Based on your photos I think a simple excision of the mole can be done under local anesthetia. The lesion should also be sent for testing after removal to ensure that it is benign and to give you peace of mind. You can try a dermatologist first and if they do not perform the biopsy a plastic surgeon can. You may also want to try your Ob/Gyn.
