Hello AZ
Thank you for your question. You should definitely consult a doctor first to get an accurate diagnosis. There are many different types of moles and it is important to make sure the mole is a benign and harmless one before deciding on removal. Although rare, there is a small possibility for the mole to turn into a cancerous one especially if:
- change in size/ shape/ colour
- irregular border
- diameter bigger than 6mm
- symptoms such as bleeding/ itch
There are a few ways to remove moles:
- excision/ shave biopsy
- laser
- electrocautery
Speak to your doctor/ dermatologist/ plastic surgeon to find out more. All the best!
Regards,
