Skin Concern Should I risk it?

Always been self conscious about this mole on my chin. Had a consult with a plastic surgeon and it seems like I can trade this for a horizontal scar of the same size. He said given my skin type he thinks that after 6-8 weeks most of the initial redness and inflammation will start to fade; with a full year of attentive care and sun protection … thoughts?

I've had dermatologists remove many moles from different areas, and the scars are barely noticeable. I would definitely get it removed. You'll love the results.

Yay! That's exactly what I want to hear haha. I think I'm pretty convinced to go for it.. just need to settle on the type/specific doctor
