There are variants and degrees of abnormality. Pathologists are often adapting their algorithm for diagnosis to incorporate risks and longterm chances of cancer. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Mole removal options vary in terms of cost. In my office, we use hyfrecation, lasers, RF, and surgery to remove moles. Most procedures are not very expensive. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Technically, mole removal during pregnancy is the same procedure as when not pregnant. However, most plastic surgeons will defer any elective procedure (unless there is a suspicion for cancer) until after pregnancy. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

There are both benign and cancerous skin moles that can arise in this area. I would seek a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to evaluate the area and determine if you need mole removal. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Most mole removal treatments do not require any more anesthesia than just novacaine or lidocaine injections. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Your surgeon will know best about aftercare after the procedure. In my practice, I ask patients to use Plato's Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed over. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
