Is mole removal a painful procedure?

If you have a mole removed using excision biopsy, shave excision or Mohs surgery, you’ll be offered
a local anaesthetic before the procedure, which numbs the whole area, so you won’t feel any pain.
The local anaesthetic might sting for a while when it first goes in. Afterwards, you may need over-
the-counter pain relief for a few days to manage any soreness.
