There are moles that are raised from the skin. Some moles will be flat and dark in color. Removing both is not a problem. The method of removing flat moles or dark moles that adhere close to the skin involves direct cutting of the moles and this process involves stitching. Removing moles via the method of excision is the best way to go about this. The presence of moles on the cheeks or chin can annoy you. You might even feel that it spoils your facial appearance.

This type of stitching will permeate the skin, dispensing with the need to remove it afterwards. The other type of stitches would have to be removed after a while, since they are only for shallow skin layers.
