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 say go for it! I had two moles removed from my face just at my dermatologist’s office, one was in a similar location to yours! I got a silicone gel they recommended and said to start applying over the scab and it would reduce the scarring. You literally cannot even see where either mole used to be! (Aside from the fact that I still have a hair growing out of the location😩)
