Not : Not safely it would be best to have it surgically removed and sent to a pathologist would hate to miss the small chance that it is not benign, but is a developing melanoma.

I : I agree. A mole that is removed should be examined by a dermatopathologist to assure that it is benign. A mole can be safely and fairly easily removed by a dermatologist with good cosmetic results in most cases. Read more about the abcde's of moles (and suspicious moles) at the link below. I hope that helps.
