A member asked:
Is small moles are removable medically without any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No free lunch : Every procedure has associated risks, though they may be small and relatively minor. The side effects for mole excision are minor discomfort, bleeding, wound infection, poor wound healing, need for further surgery potentially, and scarring.
