Mole Removal Strategies To Consider

By Nancy Watson


Many people despise moles, and they continuously look for new ways to eliminate them; hence, you should consider only the safest techniques to get rid of a mole.

They can be eliminated by two surgical procedures, excision, and excision with cauterization, and in the first case the mole is cut from the skin, whereas in the second case it is cauterized.

Likewise, you can also opt for laser excision, but it is not highly recommended because the laser cannot penetrate the skin too deep, and if your mole is more profound, it will be unable to remove it completely. Generally, your doctor will recommend you a certain procedure, according to your specific needs, your type of mole, and your personal desires. Moles are regarded as simple skin anomalies that feature a brown or dark nuance.

Anyway, not all the irregularities existent on our skin are moles, and these dark-colored marks can be blood vessels, keratosis, birth marks or simple skin marks, and they all present unique particularities, and needs to be treated individually. The apparition of a mole can be determined by various causes, but you shouldn't feel scared. Usually moles exist on our skin since we are born, but in some situations they develop after a period of time. You probably did not know, but sun exposure plays a huge role in the expansion of a mole, and the hereditary role cannot be minimized either.

Many individuals inherit the dysplastic moles from their family, and they are very unfortunate, because these moles increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Mole removal surgeries can be dangerous because they can leave behind unattractive scars. People tend to put beauty above everything, and they remove their moles surgically, without knowing that they can be left with horrible scars. Therefore, it is crucial to ask your dermatologist for further details about the surgery, and find out if the remaining scar will be permanent. You should know that before the surgery, the mole, and the surrounding area, will be anesthetized with Bactine, Lidocaine, XylocaineJelly or Lidoderm.

This process does not take a very long period of time, but your surgeons will probably prefer to wait for at least thirty minutes, until the blow flow to the moles reduces. Then, the surgeons will use a scalpel to cut off the mole as deep as possible. Next, they will cauterize the area with an electrical instrument, or will use a chemical solution to stop the bleeding.

In the end, your wound will be treated with antibiotics to prevent the infections, and you will probably need to do the same at home. Generally, the excision surgery is recommended for the dark, flat moles. A good surgeon will prepare your mole for surgery buy sterilizing, and anesthetizing it. Then, the surgeon will cut your mole off, along with a good portion of the skin which surrounds it. The size of the skin portion that will be cut off depends strictly on the surgeon's concerns. He may need to cut off a larger quantity of skin, if you have a cancerous mole, which can present a danger for your health.
