Mole Removal

I have mole on my forehead. It is from birth. I want to remove it. What will be the cost of surgery? Will it leave scar? If yes, then how much time will it take to fade. Is there any way I can do it at home? Or surgery is the only option?

A small scar will be left after surgery. Or you can opt for radiofrequency removal but Recurrence can be there with this.

Its a rather big mole,  and needs to be excised surgically.  You cannot treat it yourself at home - so please visit a qualified dermatologist / dermatosurgeon / surgeon  near you.  Yes,  there could be a small scar after surgery,  which could lighten with creams over time.  Your treating doctor could give you further details on that.  Warm regards,  Dr Govind Suresh Mittal,  Therapeia Skin Hair and ENT centre,  Bengaluru
