If you go to the doctors they can get it removed... They like give it a shot and burn it or something. I heard it doesn't hurt.

You can't shrink a mole...? I think you could get it removed though. my sister has a big mole on her chin and I think she was going to get it removed.

You can't shrink it, but you can get it removed at a dermatologist's office. Regardless of whether you want it removed or not, you should still get it checked out by a dermatologist if it's large, dark, asymmetrical in shape, or if you have a family history of skin problems. They may decide to remove it for medical reasons. But if the mole is harmless and you want to get it removed purely for cosmetic reasons, insurance probably won't cover the costs.
I've had to have seven pre-cancerous moles removed so far, two when I was only 10 years old, and five when I was 22. You can never be too cautious about your skin health!
