Up to you.: Most people have them removed when they are aesthetically unpleasing or they become too large. It depends on the site, size and your comfort with it.

Optional: Can watch or remove. These do not become cancerous. Remove if painful or enlarging. Many insurances consider this cosmetic surgery and may not cover its cost of removal.
