Some people remove just the hairs on their mole by clipping or shaving, tweezing or waxing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal. There is no reason to think that some of these procedures could raise the risk of melanoma but it would be good to discuss the idea with your dermatologist and to perform regularly the Check Moles Test. Scissors or a razor can be used to temporarily remove hair from a mole. Permanent hair removal, however, requires electrolysis or a removal of the mole as a whole.
