Could I get a mole removal near my vaginal area, or is it inappropriate?

Question

I have had this mole since I could remember. I want to get it removed because i'm not too happy with it. Would it be too weird or maybe inappropriate in a way to get it removed.

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.

you can do mole removal on the vaginal area no problem.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. There is always a chance of scar but this can be reduced with good technique and the right treatment choice.  You need to pretreat this area with emerageskin AOX-C, Skinceuticals phytoplus in the AM and Reveskin retinol 1.0 at night with fortified bleaching cream or vivatia foam. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Mole removal is not weird but depending on the exact location of your mole, you may need to see an OBGYN rather than a dermatologist. I highly recommend you consult with either an OBGYN or dermatologist to have your mole evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options. Take care and good luck.
