everyone says they dont notice it until I point it out, are they just being polite? Is it GawdAwful Obvious and they are just lieing to me? Should I risk the surgery to get it removed? Or leave it alone?????????? The derm says if I remove it it will leave a hole instead of a bump and I would basically have to have plastic surgery to fix it. I love my nose (other than the mole) and don't want it to get messed up by trying to rid myself of this mole... but what would you do if you were me??

Klaudia, my derm says it is not cancerous, and I am not in much danger of it ever being so. Good looking out though. Thanks

oh so sorry. think I might would take it off and fill the hole in with makeup. I don't know. maybe if you could just be comfortable with yourself to let it be. you sound pretty confident you may be able to live with it which would be best. but I would never have the surgery to have the hole fixed if I ever had it removed. that's for sure. you are probably pretty even with the mole, since your friends say they dont notice it. yeah leave the mole. moley girl just kidding, love ya! lol

That can be done as an outpatient ,with no pain.
Any mole on your body needs to be looked at anyway by a Dr.
Just make an appointment and get it done asap so you don't worry anymore.
it will take less than 10 min to have it done at a hospital or you can spend the nexy 50 years worrying about it.

um sorry to say this but this is a type of skin cancer called "basal cell carcinoma"(bcc). its the most common form of skin cancer.it typically appears as pink, red, or white bumps/moles. It's rarely deadly, but it can damage the surrounding skin- so you'll likely need surgery to remove it.
but i just noticed the rest of your question so yes i do think you should have the surgery to remove it

I would get it removed. My mum got one taken off her eyebrow and all she needed were a few stitches. Maybe find out how obvious the hole would be if you got it taken out.

I'd consult a plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in cosmetic procedures to get more information.
This is a good article about questions to ask & how to select thr right doctor for you:
