Mole remover?

Do you think an OTC mole remover is worth a try? Or should I see a dermatologist about removing one? The mole is not big nor brown, but it is noticeable to me and on the face.

Some moles are very to remove be a simple shave excision with little to no resultant scarring. However, not all moles can be removed in this fashion. Some require complete scalpel excision with suture closure to fully excise the depth of the mole to prevent a recurrence.
Your dermatologist should see the mole to give you the best advice in your particular case. Thank you
