I have a mole on my cheek, that up until a few years ago had been flat but now is raised. Basically from a beauty mark, its become a mole. Ive had it all my life and i like it. I don't want to get rid of it, however if it continues to grow i will have to. My question is, is it possible to cut it in half to make it flat? Basically the way it used to be and not remove it completely?
