There Is A MOLE On My Head. Shape Of The
Question: There is a MOLE on my head. Shape of the mole is uneven. Size of the mole is equal to a gram. Approximately 1cm. Is there any thing serious about it. What is the procedure to remove it without operation? I am sending you pictures of it. Please have a look and suggest me if inything serious about it.
Brief Answer:
Wart
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.
I can see a skin colored, rough looking raised lesion. It is a wart. Not a mole. Wart is an infection caused by a virus - Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It has to be removed. I would suggest that you get it removed with a Laser or a Cautery machine under local anesthesia. The whole process is very minor and would hardly take 5-10 minutes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

What care I should take before removing it? can it spread further? Will it disappear after some time? How much I can wait before operation if it cannot dissolve by it self?
Brief Answer:
Wart
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
A wart is an infection. So, it can certainly spread to form more warts. You can also pass the infection to others by sharing combs, towels etc. Though some warts may resolve on it's own by body's own immunity, specially smaller ones, but this being a bigger wart it is better if you get it removed at the earliest.
Take care.
