===Mole removal risks===
The risks of mole removal mainly depend on the type of method used. First, mole removal may be followed by some discomfort that can be relieved with [[pain medication]]. Second, there is a risk that a scab will form or that redness will occur. However, such scabs and redness usually heal within 1 or 2 weeks.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}} Third, similar to other surgeries, there is also risk of infection, [[allergic reactions to anesthesia]], or even [[nerve damage]]. Lastly, the mole removal may leave an uncomfortable scar depending on the mole size.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.emedicinehealth.com/mole_removal/page3_em.htm|title=Mole Removal|access-date=2010-05-04}}</ref>
