View allI'm really concerned about the number of moles on my face and wondering if there's a way to get rid of them without leaving any scars. Is that possible?
Removing moles without any scars is not always guaranteed, but you can consider using topical creams containing imiquimod or tretinoin to help reduce the appearance of moles. Additionally, laser therapy or surgical excision performed by a dermatologist can also be effective in mole removal with minimal scarring. It is important to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option for your specific case.
