Hi,

The large mole on the base of tailbone may be either seborrheic keratosis or elevated pigmented nevus. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Both are benign conditios. And they are easily treated by electrocautery done under local anaesthesia. It is a minor surgical procedure in OPD. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
