Is mole removal a good option?

May be "yes" or may be "no". First let me discuss what can be considered moles. Moles are dark spots on the skin. Even though moles can appear anywhere on the skin, moles on the face are matter of concern for some people. Moles can be present at birth or may start getting appeared after some time.

On the positive side, for some people moles give good look to their face generally called "beauty spots". If your moles are giving good look to your face...then it is meaning less to consider for "mole removal" treatments unless you suspect that they may be belong to some cancerous growth.

On the negative side, we have two possibilities. One is if the moles are giving you bad look on your face and second, if they are uncomfortable or suspecting to be form of cancerous growth.

Once you decided on "mole removal" treatment, it is always suggested that you go to experienced/popular dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon even if the cost of consulting or fee is more. If you try to reduce the cost by going to "practitioners" you may feel bad in the future for your decision.

Risks involved in "mole removal":

A SCAR (even though it is minimal) can be expected in most of the cases. The size and form of the scar may vary based on the type of mole removal treatment and your surgeon’s experience.

It is always advisable to discuss with your dermatologist/cosmetic surgeon about your expectations, risks, and side effects. Once if something goes wrong it's hard to recover!!

Hi, It is always better to go for a doctor or dermatologist for these type of cases. Never go for self treatments.

Coming to your case, I didn't get your exact problem....but that red-blue-black mark may be a sign of hyper pigmentation. If so, what you can do is just avoid that are to sunlight exposure for a month or apply any sun screen lotion with thick coating on that area..anyway it will go away but it takes time...Good luck !
