Mole Removal

Moles that are commonly skin growths mostly do not pose any harm and treatment is not necessary. Moles appear either right from the birth or ay also develop later in the life. They appear due to exposure to sun and become atypical or dysplastic moles. These are pigmented cell clusters appearing as dark small spots on the skin in varying sizes. Some moles can also appear due to heredity and can be atypical/ dysplastic and may have a greater risk of a melanoma. They can appear on face and all over the body. There may arise some atypical skin moles that are quite common with irregular borders. Moles may require removal if they pose cancer risk or may bother someone due to aesthetic reasons. Your physician may take a sample of the mole tissue for biopsy to check whether it is benign or malignant. The removal of moles may involve the process of electrodessication and curettage, surgical excision, shaving, removal with laser treatment, freezing or cryosurgery, punch biopsy technique and with home remedies.
