Facial moles 10 year old girl

My daughter is developing some (2/3) moles on her forehead and are very visible. I am concerned that they might be a source of 'peer ridicule' later in school. Is removal possible, advisable or worse as leaves scars?

Hi Papi, I have a birthmark (dark brown / size of 20p) on my forehead.
Maybe once or twice it was commented on at school, but I was by no way ridiculed.

I did ask if I could have it removed as a teenager and my parents looked into it, but the docs said it would leave a scar. I didn't fancy that at all, so have let it be.

My Mum (when I was little) said that I had it so it made me special

Funnily enough in my late teens I worked behind a bar and one night a guy (who I had known VERY well) said "Northumberlandlass, you have a mucky mark on your forehead", I told him it was my birthmark and he said "huh, never noticed it before".

It really hasn't had any impact on my life in a negative way. x

Depends if they bother HER. I had a big dark mole on my neck, it was like a wart, in that it was big like a sultana, but was only attached by a tiny bit of skin, to the neck, if you see what I mean. I hated it with a passion. Went to see GP and they said oh nothing can be done. Went back and saw another GP and insisted. They removed it. It left a tiny scar which has faded over the last 20 years and no one ever notices my scar.
My confidence shot throught eh roof, no more covering it up. I wore low cut tops , I do have great boobs !! so yes it was worth it. For me, that is.
Depends on her. If she really wants it. insist and don't take no for an answer. Assuming thta is that they are actually easily removeable. assuming some are and some aren't ??
