Dermatologist, they will etheir remove it themselves or send you to a sergeon, but usually they can do it themselves.When removing a mole do you go to a dermatologist or a surgeon?
Dermatologist and sometimes your own family doctor can do it, mine removed two for me. A surgeon is only needed if it is something like a cancerous tumor. They will just give you a little local anesthetic agent to numb it up then they will just cut it off. It does not hurt, usually there are no stitches they may burn it a little to stop it from bleeding but you wont feel a thing.
Dermatologist or Surgeon...I cant't remember..I had one removed like 10 years ago

you definately need to go to your doctor who would refer you to a skin specialist if she or he believes there to be any concern. if you are wanting to remove if for looks then still go to your doctor and they will most probably suggest a surgeon
Your family doctor can do simple ones. Anything deeper or larger would need to be done by a dermatologist. However I believe you have to be referred by your family doctor so start there. You may walk out mole free on that same day!
i was advised by a plastic surgeon to do it with a plastic surgeon because they close up the area better than a dermatologist. i'm speaking about one on your face or some area you might be self-conscience about otherwise a dermatologist is fine. i would trust my dermatologist for removal.
i had a mole on my foot that i had removed..your gonna go to a* Dermatologist so he can acess it ,than they will decide if it needs to be removed..and they can do it usually in the medical clinic where they work . no worries
Go to a Good Dermatologist, first.. they will determine or help you to determine the best method.

  1. Since mole is related to skin, my best bet would be a dermatologist because dermatologist can also perform surgery. A general surgeon might have limited knowledge about skin.
