Anyone Here Had a Mole Removed?
Posted: 06-21-05 19:31pm

I want to have a mole removed from my nose for cosmetic reasons, but i've been doing a lot of research on the net and now i'm nervous about the effects and scarring.

The mole is raised but very small.

I've heard of creams and things like that you can use, but i'm extremely skeptical of those things. Should I be? The only type of action i've considered taking is having it removed by a doctor, but if there's a less expensive alternative, thats reliable, that would be great.

Anyone have any advice or info?

I just had 2 raised moles taken off my upper lip because I always cut them shaving..The doctor numbed them and used a laser and burnt the mole down flat with the skin, so the mole is still there but barely visible. U won't like the way it looks for a few days cuz of scabbing etc etc but give it time..I'm very happy
