Mole skin lesion

I have a referral with the Dermolotogist next week for a 2 coloured mole on the face between the eye and the ear. It's about 8mm irregular in shape,was slightlly itchy couple of weeks ago. 
I wanted to know if anyone has had the procedure please at the appointment. Do they ask to come back for exfoliating surgery for biopsy? Does it leave a scar, cant the skin from the eye get streched when stitching up the mole after incision. Please let us know of your experience .

  • I have had a SCC skin cancer removed in this area. If your mole is cancerous the main objective is to get rid of it. Yes it will leave a scar you can worry about that later. Using moisturiser to minimise the appearance and makeup if neccessary to disguise it. I did not have any problem with skin around eye being stretched.
