Is there a safe and affordable way to remove a mole on my nose without expensive surgery? I'm worried about the cost but also want to make sure it's done properly. What options do I have?

Removing your mole at home can be incredibly dangerous and may cause severe scarring. Mole removal creams sound in pharmacies and online stores aren't proven to work and can leave scarring. If you remove your mole, you cannot get it checked for skin cancer and reduce your chance of a life-threatening melanoma.
