Brief Answer:
Yes, it can be removed for analysis!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this mole. I have reviewed the images and will like to know whether there are any recent changes. Also, this is very easily removable and can be done as an outpatient procedure. The removed sample would then be sent to the laboratory for detailed analysis to say whether there are any cells of concern. The best person to see for this is a dermatologist!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

I went to a dermatologist here in Egypt & he told me that it is nothing & i can leave it as it is .
Do you think he is wrong ?
Why you need to analyze it ?

Brief Answer:
IT is most likely benign

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is most likely benign, Removing it at this time may be due to the fact that you do not like it. As a rule, all growths removed should be analyzed to make sure there is nothing which is being under looked. If you have no issues with the appearance, I will say only remove if something else comes up such as rapid growth, change n color, pain, bleeding, etc.

Keep me posted on this.
