I have raised mole under my chin I want to be removed. According to dermatologist that examined it it's not necessary to be removed but I don't want it there. It's about 1 cm. What is the best way for removing my mole. I'm very afraid of the possible scar but I'm considering the possibility of taking that risk.

Answer: Options for mole removal on the chin
Depending on its size and location, facial moles can be easily removed by one of two methods. One is a "shave excision" where the mole is actually "shaved off" at a level just below the surface of the skin. The other is an excision with suture closure which using both dissolving and non-dissolving sutures to give the best cosmetic result. Dermatologic surgeons, not plastic surgeons, typically do both procedures expertly and can decide which would be best for your particular mole. All methods of surgery will leave a scar but the trick is to minimize the scar using the proper technique.
