The best thing to do about this mole is most likely a shave excision, the dermatologist will just shave it off and send it to the lab to be tested to make sure it is not dangerous. The procedure is quick and you should be very happy with the result. Look for a local Dermatologist that you like and take it from there. Good Luck

I would always recommend seeing a dermatologist if a mole has changed in size or shape. You should then ask them who they recommend to remove it. Some dermatologists are very skilled with excisions and reconstruction, but they may recommend having it removed by a plastic surgeon. Best of luck

The good news is that when I remove
like yours I will typically use a "shave excision" method. The
mole is actually "shaved off" at a very superficial level just below
the surface of the skin. This method is quite effective to remove moles and
generally leaves a minimal scar. The procedure
typically takes less than a minute, and the mole is sent for microscopic examination for reassurance to make sure it is benign.
