See a dermatologist for an evaluation before removing any mole
Do not try to cut, burn, or pick at moles at home
Monitor the mole for changes in size, shape, color, itching, bleeding, or crusting
Use sunscreen daily to help prevent new dark spots and reduce darkening
Ask a dermatologist about safe removal options such as shave removal, surgical excision, or laser treatment
Get urgent medical attention if the mole changes rapidly, becomes painful, or bleeds
Avoid over-the-counter mole removal products on the face
Follow aftercare instructions carefully if the mole is professionally removed
