Removal of facial moles/bumps/freckles, dermatologist vs plastic surgeon and costs to expect? (Photo)

Asked By:ethang0 in San Francisco, CA

Hi- I have a few bumps around my nose that may be warts or just small bumps. I have a birth mark and some freckles or small moles on my check and forehead. Not sure which ones can and can’t be removed. For the ones that can be removed, should I go to a dermatologist to have it done or to a plastic surgeon? Thanks!
