چکیده
Most dermatologists can perform cosmetic mole removals (this is not something to try at home with your trusty disposable razor).

The healing process usually leaves a flat scar that's somewhat lighter than the rest of your skin. Sometimes the scar may be as pigmented or noticeable as the original mole.
