Big Circular Mole On Nose. Took Laser Treatment, Not Much Difference. Options Other Than Surgery?

hi im a 20 yr old girl. i had this big circular mole near mr my nose since childhood and i got it treated through laser around three years back though the obvious mole went but it is still very much visible and has reappeared. some doctor suggested me to go for a surgical treatment to get rid of it completely though it will leave a stich mark behind which is also not convincing enough, what do you suggest?

HI Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
In my opinion it should be removed with surgical method by plastic surgeon.
Skilled Plastic surgeon will try to minimize the possible scar.
Little scar produced by the surgery in later may become unnoticable to other people
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks.

Hi even after laser treatment, the remaining visible mark can be treated with surgical treatment. Demelanizing agent may give some improvement. But since it is mole and present since birth surgery is the best treatment to remove it as suggested by other doctors.
