This might be obvious, but the importance of our first commandment is not to be ignored. If you have a suspicious mole, it's imperative that you see a board-certified, experienced dermatologist who will be able to clinically evaluate it to decide the level of suspicion and the nature of the lesion.
Removing a mole for cosmetic purposes versus a medical reason are two very different beasts, and the approach to removal and care post-treatment will have a huge bearing on the removal strategy and treatment plan. "If we're removing a lesion for cosmetic purposes, it will be removed with more of a cosmetic elegance versus a mole that needs to be removed for a medical reason," Lancer confirms. "Depending on the opinion, pre-biopsy will determine the best way to do the sampling of the growth or the complete removal of the growth with the most minimal mark."
Additionally, it's not a bad idea to see a dermatologist who specialized in mole removal. For instance, Lancer has a reputation as being one of the best professionals in the business when it comes to seamless removal and scarless recovery.
