I've got a raised mole on my upper lip and really want it gone, but I'm worried about scarring. A couple of doctors mentioned that removing it with a laser might leave a scar the size of the mole, and I'm trying to avoid that. Is there any way to get it off with little to no scarring? I'm sharing a picture with this. Any advice would be appreciated.

One option to consider is a surgical excision where the mole is cut out with a scalpel. This method can minimize scarring if done carefully by a skilled dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Another option is cryotherapy, where the mole is frozen off using liquid nitrogen. This method may also result in minimal scarring. I recommend consulting with a dermatologist to discuss these options and determine the best course of action for your specific case.
