I had laser surgery on a raised blood vessel. It took a few minutes, cost $150, and healed quickly. I don't know about moles, but I would get an appointment and find out.

I would consult a dermatologist or two.\nIt would think it would be dependent not only the circumference of the mole, but the depth of it as well that would need to be removed.\n\nAsk an experience doctor of dermatology.

Don't want to worry you but moles can't always be removed, as they can cause cancer (before you ask I'm a nurse)I've had a tiny one for about 25 years; being stupid I tried to cut it out myself. I've been stuck with what looks like a clump of blood blisters ever since.

I've had a couple of moles removed for testing because of a family history of skin cancer.  None of them were lasered. They were cut completely out down to the root--the doctor made a kind of cone-shaped incision and then put in lots of tiny invisible stitches. (Local anesthesia.)  The scar is red for a few months and then fades to almost nothing--you can see the scar in just the right light and angle but other than that I don't even need make-up to cover it.\nI had another one that had to be cauterized but it wasn't on my face--that made an ugly scar and 15 years later it's still white and puckered and shiny although not as prominent.\nDefinitely ask your surgeon about different options for removing the mole and what kinds of scars they will leave. It depends on your skin type too--my skin tends to scar easily and make those lumpy "keloid" scars so I have to be very careful about surgery and injury.

Unfortunately there is no way to remove scar tissue without surgery. I understand I have had one as well. My Dr. says it's best to leave it alone unless you are having problems.

last year, i used some mole/wart remover to remove 3 moles on my face. I'm so sorry, i forgot the name, but it's all natural and you can search on google. It works like this, you have to scratch the mole with something they provide you, then you have to apply this formula all around the mole[stings slightly], just leave it. A white scab forms around the mole. Don't meddle with it. It falls off with the mole within a week. you micht have a scar, but use some aloe vera gel on it and it goes away in a month or so. I have no scar now and the mole never returned. Wait a minute, if i;m right, it's called some wart/mole vanish or something, Will get back if i remember correctly.

There is a cream available to lessen the visibility of scars/stretch marks. The plastic surgeon should be able to recommend one. Emotional scars though...........

Yes it is possible, and painless, and you'd look better, cause mole makes a person looks stupid.

it could be a hamangioma   which is a sort of birth mark and can be removed however if it is psoriasis or rosacea removing it will not help at all   best bet is to talk to doctor

Scars cannot be gotten rid of 100%. They will always remain, however there are ways to lighten them. \nOne way would be to use either cocoa butter creme or vitamin E oil and rub it into the ares where the scars are and this should only lighten the scars making them less visible. Otherwise there is always laser treatment that will take them away for ever.

I have known a lot of people who have had this surgery. The surgeon always ensures that the line is as small as possible and ideally in a crease line. \nInitially the scar is quite obvious whilst it is still healing. Once it is healed you hardly notice anything. It is very small and faint. Often I have not noticed until people have told me about it.\nOne other thing I would like to mention is that I would take your surgeons advice. S/he would not operate unless it was necessary.\nGood luck.

I have had one removed.  They will shoot you up with local anesthesia, it doesn't hurt a bit.  Maybe a bit of pressure/pulling sensation, but no pain.  Use Neosporin scar solution or vitamin E oil afterward to prevent scarring.  Good luck!

Burn it off or laser removal. The laser takes several visits and is expensive. Burning it off is painful, dangerous (high risk of infection), and will most likely leave a large scar.

Not a good idea ... you could puncture it and cause a serious infection.  \n\nThere are 3 main issues that bring patients to the dermatologist for their moles.  One common patient concern is whether any of their moles are suspicious for or at risk of turning into cancer.  Another concern is about moles that protrude and get repeatedly irritated by activities such as shaving or rubbing on clothing.  Also, many patients have concerns about the cosmetic appearance of certain moles and may desire removal to enhance appearance.\n\n  Evaluation of moles to check for melanoma is an essential part of dermatology today.  Melanoma usually develops on previously normal skin, but on occasion may develop in a pre-existing mole.  People with many moles are at slightly greater risk of melanoma, especially if the moles are large and irregular.  Checking for melanoma is trickier when patients have many moles, the difference between normal moles and melanoma are often subtle and require an expert trained eye.  The removal of normal moles does not decrease the risk of developing melanoma.  Dermatologists are best qualified to determine which moles are suspicious enough for biopsy.  Ideal biopsy technique allows for complete information about the growth with minimized scarring.\n\n  Moles that are irritated by activities of daily living are best removed.  These moles may interfere with shaving or may rub against clothing.  The techniques used to remove these moles are the same as those used to remove moles that are cosmetically undesirable.\n\n  There are many people who have one or more moles that they see as detracting from their overall appearance.  Not all undesirable moles, however, are candidates for cosmetic mole removal.  Figuring out which moles are appropriate candidates requires careful judgment.\n\n  There are two main methods used for mole removal.  Moles can either be shaved off of the surrounding skin or excised with the underlying and surrounding skin and then stitched.  For best results, treatment should be individualized.  The shave excision method is the most frequently selected method for mole removal, as it tends to produce optimal cosmetic results for most cases.  Shave excision is also generally best for moles that are irritated by clothing or shaving.  For shave excision, the skin around and under the mole is injected with lidocaine anesthetic.  This takes away any minor pain of the procedure.  It also raises and firms the skin treatment site.  Then a small sharp scalpel blade, often lubricated with mineral oil, is used to precisely remove the raised and pigmented mole tissue while leaving a cut surface that is flush with the surrounding skin.\n\n  The shave removal technique is excellent, but, like all techniques, has limitations.  Despite every attempt to cut the mole exactly flush with the skin, minor imperfections of the cut surface may occur.  An electrosurgical apparatus is used in these instances to even out the contours of the removal.\n\n  With meticulous technique and careful patient selection, shave removal results are generally gratifying to patient and physician.  Nevertheless, permanent contour and color imperfections may occasionally result.  Contour imperfections may result if the tissue is not cut exactly even with the surrounding skin and may also rarely occur due to changes in skin contours resulting from the healing process.\n\n  During shave excision of moles, some of the melanocytes are often left below the even cut surface of the removal site.  Usually, these cells pose no cosmetic problem.  Moles may, however, regrow at the excision site shortly after removal or years later.  The mole cells below the cut surface of the removal site can also cause re-pigmentation of the removal site to a shade much darker than that of the removed mole.  This re-pigmentation side effect is particularly problematic for patients with olive skin or dark eyes and hair.  Mole regrowth and re-pigmentation occur more commonl

Stop eating fried foods and chocolate and start eating more fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water and wash your face in the morning, after gym class, after school, and at night. There are creams and lotions that are good; I think one is called proactive. If all fails you can see a dermatologist and they will recommend the best products and may be able to do a laser procedure.♪

I wish I could post my belly pic as I have the most heinous stretchies ever...I cant find a finger width of normal skin between them. You can have laser treatment (think tattoo removal) but it only eliminates 30% of the marks.  Don't bother with the cocoa butter stuff as that does as much for stretch marks as the gas and air does for labour pain (not much).  Apparently Bio oil can reduce them but not cure them. Just resolve never to wear a bikini again, or get them tattoo'd over to look like tiger stripes!!
