biopsy it but says I would have to stop breastfeeding. Obviously, I don't
want to do this, and would rather wait. What would you do?"

I agree with the previous person who posted that the "mole" could be a supernumerary nipple.  It is possible to have a supernumerary nipple right above the nipple and they also frequently look like moles.  I would advise she sees someone with experience with supernumerary nipples, such as a breast surgeon.  I also would not, personally, want a dermatologist cutting my breast, and would feel more comfortable with a breast surgeon doing that.  I see you are in Brooklyn, I went to a breast surgeon in Manhattan (for a consult, no surgery was needed).  If you or your client wants a referral, email me privately.
