Wood stain removal  

How do I remove a white heat mark from a mahogany coffee table. The table was protected by a coaster but obviously something has gone wrong. The coffee cup was not particularly hot and it could be some other type of stain but it is the same shape as the coaster. Will I need to have the table stripped professionally.
