so i have one of these things which is like a hair follicle only slightly larger. saw a dermotologist and he says they are completely painless, non contagious and basically nothing to be worried about

problem is i only really have 1 option, a 15min surgical procedure in which i get numbed, have it cut out and get stictched back up. waas told there'd be no mark after i heal though i have read a scar is possible. never had surgery before and not sure if i want to do this

has anyone had one done before? or know of alternatives to surgery (one i read was heating pad to area for 15mins for 10 days, currently working on it). i really dont want to do it since it doesnt cause problems other than just being there, but also dont want my gf to see it. its about this size
