I have a flat mole on my finger. it looks very strange because it is so noticeable on the top of my finger. how does flat mole removal work?

Easy.: You can definitely have moles on the palms and soles, but it is not as common. Flat moles are removed the same way as raised ones--an injection is given to numb the area and then a blade is used to surgically remove it. The specimen is then sent to a pathologist for evaluation. Your skin will actually regrow so that it will not appear to be a depression once the skin repairs itself.
