Is there a scarless method for removal of a small flat glans penis mole/lentigo? (Photo)

Sociable612130Apr 23, 2021
I have this flat tan mole vs lentigo on my glans penis that is bothersome for cosmetic reasons. It first popped up three years ago but has been pretty much unchanged in size and configuration since. Would this be a good candidate for a laser removal? I am pretty squeemish about the though of having a blade cutting into the head of my penis so a shave excision seems terrifying.

Hi, it is likely that this can be removed in a straightforward manner under local anaesthetic as an office based procedure. A complete assessment could be done during a face to face consultation.
