Hi...dear lok..,
Thanks for choosing HCM..,
Mole...1 mm in size.,left of the nose.,
Not safe to remove surgically..,
First asses the type of Mole..,

Epidermal Nevi is safe to remove..,
But my option is ...If U paricular about this..,
go for LASER....treatment!.,
Here ERBIUM-YAG Laser with negligible scaring is treatment f choice..,
and another one is FRACTIONAL CO2 LASER..,
it is also good .,minimal scarring is noticeable..,
Preferable , Bcoz cost is economic compare to ERBIUM...thanQ

Mole of just 1mm?
If you ask me personally, if the same thing was on my nose i would have left it undisturbed provided there is no increase in size. There are non surgical modalities like dermabrasion for removal, as any surgical procedure is bound to leave some scar.
My advise will be leave it alone,
Take care
