I have a mole between my nose and eyes. It's round and bumpy, black. How can I remove it?

Thank You for your question. I recommend getting an in-person formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with a laser, radiowave or shave. If there is any scarring or pigmentation following the removal, your dermatologist can treat those conditions as well. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Benign vs. malignant moles should be examined by an expert to determine risk and the need for a biopsy. Non-surgical options exist to help reduce scarring. Minimizing scar tissue is paramount and can be achieved by employing laser treatments and post-treatment scar therapy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Thank you for your question. There are multiple different techniques to remove a lesion. The spot can be shaved off, which would leave you with a circular, slightly indented scar similar to a chicken pox scar, and the possibility of the lesion returning. The other form of removal would be an excision, which would leave you with a linear scar. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your lesion evaluated and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs. Take care and good luck.
