Question:

How much would it cost to get a skin mole removed? Does it leave like a huge scar?

I want to get my mole removed, it's on the side of me face, i cover it up with my hair, it kinda like pops out and i hate it. I want to know an estimate on how much it would cost? If insurance covers it? and if it leaves like a huge scar that won't get removed?


Answers:

It's usually the cost of a an office visit plus a minimal amount for lab work. If you tell your dermatologist it is suddenly itchy or painful then they will biopsy it and it will be covered by insurance. If you tell them it is purely because you don't like the way it looks then your insurance will say its cosmetic and not cover it. All in all it should cost about 150 before insurance pays. I had a mole removed from the side of my nose and now there is nothing no scar or anything. I went to two different docs because the first doc told me "If I remove the mole people will notice a pretty girl with a scar on the side of her nose....if you leave the mole in place, you'll notice a pretty girl with a mole". Needless to say I got a second opinion and had the mole removed and now they just notice a pretty girl! Get it removed!!!!! Good luck to you.
