Small mole under nipple. Any suggestions? (photo)

HinaflacaMar 11, 2016
Hi, i had BA 7 weeks ago and i just noticed a small uneven mole under my nipple. Might have been there before and i just wasn't paying attention. Is it a problem for removing it? Am afraid the implant will be punctured while doing local anesthesia... Is this something a PS could remove or only a dermatologist? I would hate to have a scar there because of a mole. Thanks in advance for advising.

There is local anesthesia.The mole is removed sutured and it will leave a small scar parallel to the eyebrow. No medication is necessary.

For up to 3 months post operatively, you can apply a scar gel .  I recommend to my patients, a scar gel called bio-corneum.  It has silicone and an spf mixed in the gel.  Avoiding sun,tanning, etc will also reduce permanent redness/darkness at scar as well.

Do not remove this by yourself because to can scar or become infected. Get a second opinion about mole removal.

With this history I would recommend oral antibiotics and oral Bromelain to decrease swelling.The combination will decrease swelling and decrease the chance of infection
