Question:
This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible to remove a mole that is located directly above the eyebrow if it is very large and causes her embarrassment? Is it permissible for me to remove it through a surgical procedure?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if there is a treatment for it with the doctors and a procedure, meaning cosmetic surgery and removing the disfigurement, there is nothing wrong with that, from the perspective of medical treatment, yes.
