A member asked:
Hi! i had some moles that were removed with a laser in a clinic around 10 years ago. but it didn't go well, there were white spots with a bit of volume in place of the moles. basically what i dont like is that the scars are not flat and the color?

There are some people that respond to laser treatments with excess scar tissue formation. It is advisable that these persons do not continue to have laser treatments to remove moles. Moles can also be removed with a scalpel in a much less traumatic method. Talk to your clinic about alternative possibilities.

I have a flat, non-itchy dark red spot on my ankle. It doesn't hurt either. It's about the size of a small oval pill. It's definitely not a mole or a scar. I've had it for two weeks. There is only one and I don't have any other symptoms.
