What do the scars look like left on the skin from moles which have been burnt off?

I have a couple i got removed about 8 or 9 years ago and 1 you can't even see. The other 1 is barely there I would say it does look like a cigarette burn it's round and just a little more pale than the rest of my skin. My doctor did give me a few options he said he could cut them out or shave them. It was only sore for a few days and healed really fast too.

a good dermy, or dermy that specialized in plastic surgery can remove the mole and you won't even know it,, that is assuming its a 'normal' sized mole,,,
Reply:I had one mole removed, and the scar which was left almost looks like a cigarette burn.
Reply:pigmented moles should be shaved off and sent to pathology





you will be left with a white area that will become less noticable with time
Reply:I had a few moles removed that healed into white spots and eventually just blended in with the rest of my skin, except for the last mole removed. The doctor used some kind of a hole punch machine, didn't numb me effectively, hurt like a mother, AND the worst part was she used these stitches really sloppily and now I have this one inch pink scar where it was that hasn't faded at all.





The other docts all gave me some injectin to make the mole puff out and then they shaved it off with a blade. I don't know about burning a mole off, but I think legally doctors have to send all moles to a pathology lab to be evaluated for skin cancer, which is a GOOD thing because my last one came up cancerous!!! So they had to go back and get more skin around it to make sure all the melanoma was gone.
Reply:They should look somewhat like a "raspberry" my big bro had a mole removed and it was pink for awhile and turned normal after time (5 to 6 weeks) they haven't been burnt off but more or less frozen off. plus the doctors give you alot of palliative care which prevents scarring from continuing.
