Mole removal on face - Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon? (Photo)

jamieh2008
Hi, I have a small mole on the top of my nose next to my right eyebrow. Not sure if I should have it removed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon? I've found three different procedures: excision, shaving and scraping. What's the difference between shaving and scraping? Thank you for your time! Regards
