I have had a few moles removed before, a number of years ago. A doctor did it, a dermatologist. It really wasn't that bad, but it'd take a week or so for the skin to heal. I'm glad to have it done, the moles have not come back, but I know that for some people they can. Actually, I had a mole on my face above my lip like one some of the famous actresses have. I know some people like to have a mole a birthmark there, but I never personally understood why and I was a bit self conscious, so I was quite relieved when I eventually had it removed. I have a tiny scar there, the most people don't even recognize it.
