I had a mole removed that turned out to have abnormal cells, and the healing took a long time with some complications. Removing a mole doesn't cause cancer, but if a cancerous mole is not removed completely, it can spread. Please get it done only by a proper dermatologist.

My son had a large, dark mole on his shoulder that we got removed last year because it was rubbing against his clothes. The doctor did a biopsy just to be safe, and it was completely benign. Don't worry, but do get it done by a professional dermatologist.
I had a mole removed from my neck for cosmetic reasons. The doctor explained that removing it actually eliminates any future risk from that specific spot. Just don't scratch or mess with it yourself, go to a good skin clinic.
