What is a Mole?
A mole is a common skin growth that often appears during childhood or adolescence. These pigmented spots can vary in color, ranging from the individual’s natural skin tone to pink, brown, or black. The color of moles may be influenced by factors such as hair and skin color.
Why is mole removal?
In a mole removal process, your dermatologist shaves or cuts the mole from your skin. A dermatologist is a medical specialist who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin problems. It’s often a fast, outpatient treatment that allows your doctor to check the mole for skin cancer. Some people get moles removed for cosmetic reasons.
Why is mole removal done?
Mole removal is a procedure that addresses atypical moles found on various parts of your body, including the face, neck, arms, legs, or torso. Your healthcare provider might recommend removing an atypical mole to conduct a biopsy, determining whether the growth is cancerous (malignant) or precancerous. If your dermatologist successfully removes the mole with sufficient margins (the surrounding area), this procedure can serve as an effective curative treatment for localized skin cancer that has not metastasized.
Additionally, your healthcare provider might suggest mole removal if you express dissatisfaction with the mole’s location or appearance. This elective aspect of mole removal allows individuals to address cosmetic concerns, enhancing their overall satisfaction with their appearance.
Who needs to have this treatment?
The decision to have mole removal treatment depends on individual preferences, concerns, and potential health considerations. Generally, the following groups of individuals might consider mole removal:
1. Cosmetic Concerns:
- Unsatisfactory Appearance: Individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of a mole, especially if it is in a visible or prominent location, may opt for removal to enhance their overall aesthetics.
2. Medical Concerns:
- Cancer Suspicions: If a healthcare provider suspects that a mole might be cancerous (malignant) or precancerous based on its characteristics or changes over time, they may recommend removal for further examination through a biopsy.
- Family History: Individuals with a family history of skin cancer or certain genetic predispositions may consider mole removal as a preventive measure.
3. Physical Discomfort:
- Irritation or Discomfort: Moles located in areas prone to irritation or discomfort due to friction with clothing or other factors might be candidates for removal to alleviate physical discomfort.
4. Individual Concerns:
- Patient Concerns: If an individual has personal concerns about a mole, whether related to its size, shape, color, or other features, they should discuss these concerns with their healthcare provider.
Causes of moles
The specific reason why some people get more moles than others is not fully understood, however some variables may contribute to their growth.
- Genetics: The number and kind of moles can be inherited. If your parents or close relatives have a lot of moles, you are more likely to get them too.
- UV radiation from the sun can cause an increase of moles on the skin. People with fair complexion, red or blonde hair, and light-colored eyes are more vulnerable to sun damage and are more likely to acquire moles.
- Hormonal changes during adolescence and pregnancy can cause moles to grow, alter size, or color.
- Age -Moles can form at any age, although they are most frequent during childhood or adolescence. They may also vary or diminish with infancy, with some disappearing altogether in maturity.
- Medical diseases including neurofibromatosis and xeroderma pigmentosum can lead to numerous moles and higher risk of skin cancer.
Mole Diagnosis and Test
A dermatologist can identify a mole by inspecting it with the naked eye, using a dermatoscopy, a portable magnifying lens with a light that allows for a closer look at the mole. Here are the steps in diagnosing a mole:
- The dermatologist will visually inspect the mole for irregularities in form, color, and texture.
- Dermatoscopy – If the dermatologist notices any anomalies, they will use a dermatoscope to inspect the mole more closely. A dermatoscope is a portable magnifying instrument that illuminates the skin and allows the dermatologist to examine features within the mole that would be invisible to the naked eye.
- Dermatologists may prescribe a biopsy if a mole is suspected to be malignant or pre-cancerous. During a biopsy, a little bit of the mole is removed and submitted to a lab for testing.
How does a dermatologist remove moles?
There are two types of mole removal: surgical excision and shave excision. Both forms of mole removal methods include risks and rewards, just like any other surgical surgery. Talk to your dermatologist about which approach is best for you.
Surgical excision
Excision is a frequent method for mole eradication. Following cleaning and numbing, your surgeon will use a scalpel to remove your mole from the rest of your skin. Depending on the type of mole, they’ll take a margin of good skin to verify that all of the abnormal cells are eliminated. They then remove the mole away by grasping the portion with forceps. Bleeding is normal, and your surgeon may use pressure or burn (cauterization) to stop the bleeding before sewing it back together.
Shave excision
Shave excision is another frequent procedure for removing moles. Your doctor may be able to remove a mole by shaving instead of cutting. Shave excision can offer a sample of tissue for study, and most individuals are satisfied with the outcomes following healing. However, shave excision is ineffective for examining deep tumor margins or distinguishing between forms of skin cancer.
Shave excision mole removal involves your healthcare professional precisely shaving the growth to the level of the surrounding skin using a single or double-bladed razor. They may mildly burn (cauterize) the region around the excised mole to enhance the look of any scars that form after healing.
Moles removed with shave incision are somewhat more likely to reappear than moles removed through surgical excision.
Does it pain to get a mole removed?
To reduce discomfort during mole removal, your healthcare professional will use numbing drugs (anesthetics). Some mole removal treatments just require a topical (top-of-the-skin) anesthetic, but your doctor may additionally inject drugs like lidocaine to alleviate your discomfort. You may have stinging or burning in the region for a few days following mole removal.
Can I remove a mole myself?
Do not try to remove moles yourself. Even if you can buy items branded as mole removal pens or lasers, or if you are inclined to shave or chop your mole out yourself, you should not do so for several reasons.
- The mole may be cancerous.
- Not all of the mole may be removed.
- Risk of infection.
- Potential for substantial scarring.
Dermatologists are educated specifically to undertake skin procedures such as mole removal. They’ll do it safely, do diagnostic testing, and you’ll be pleased with your appearance after healing than if you tried to remove it yourself.
