See a dermatologist first to confirm it is a mole and not a skin cancer or other lesion
Do not try to cut, burn, freeze, or tie off a mole at home
Use prescription or in-office removal methods only
Ask about shave removal for raised moles
Ask about surgical excision for deeper or suspicious moles
Ask about biopsy if the mole is changing, bleeding, itching, or irregular
Protect the area from sun after removal
Follow all wound care instructions from the clinician
Watch for signs of infection or recurrence and get checked if they occur
