Don't!!!: Don't aggravate or cut at a mole, it could get infected or much worse. Just let it be and if it is really bothersome, you can have it professionally removed with safety after an evaluation to be sure it's just a mole. If you are self conscious, you can find a blemish cover that would work to conceal it and maybe dry it a bit. Some things like this just dry up and fall off. Good luck!

Mole: Don't cut yourself!!!!! Ask your parents or guardian to take you to see your Family Doc or Dermatologist. S/he can offer some options, ranging from freezing to cutting it out to watchful waiting. In meantime, learn the ABCDEs of melanoma: http://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma/melanoma-warning-signs-and-images/do-you-know-your-abcdes
