Answer: Nose moles can be improved with a variety of methods.
After a mole is shaved flat under local anesthesia, then keeping it moist for the first 5 days helps it heal nice and then adding a cortisone cream to reduce the redness is done for about 2 weeks. Sincerely,

Thank you for your question. It is unlikely that you have rubbed off a melanoma, which grows superficially and deep. It sounds like a benign growth, called seborrheic keratoses, which can look like a mole and is commonly rubbed or scratched off. I would recommend seeing a Board Certified...
Any surgical procedure will leave a scar. In your case, since the mole is raised, I would recommend a shave excision. This procedure can leave a minimal scar. It is important to avoid sun exposure as it heals.
