I'm going to get a mole removed. is it really painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numb it first: Mole removal shouldn't be painful at all. Whether it is excised, punched out or shaved, the doctor should use some numbing agent like Lidocaine to anesthetize the area so that you don't feel it at all. All you may feel is the numbing needle injections.
