The first step is to rule out the possibility of any malignancy. If from history and physical examination the mole is likely benign, it can be removed either via an ablative laser or excision biopsy depending on size (main aim is to reduce risk of scarring and recurrence).
Either method can be done as a quick office lunch time procedure. If the mole benign, risk of recurrence is low.
Hope this helps!
