The great majority of moles are harmless. They are simply areas of darker pigment. Still, some people find their moles troublesome in one way or another. Prominent or stalked moles may chafe against clothing or be in a place on the body, such as a skin crease, where they are constantly irritated. Some moles are so suspicious looking that the person may not only have them removed but biopsied for signs of malignancy. The good news is that there are several ways to remove an unwanted mole. Mole removal should only be done by a medical professional.
Surgical Removal
In this method, a qualified professional removes the mole surgically. The removed mole will be examined to determine whether or not it’s malignant. In the meantime, the patient needs to follow the instructions given to them by the doctor or the nurse. This avenue provides permanent removal.
Freezing
For this technique, the doctor swabs the mole with liquid nitrogen. As a result, the mole eventually dies and falls away. Burning the mole, or electrocauterization may need to happen more than once before the mole finally falls off.
Laser Removal
This route is an excellent way to diminish the appearance of discoloration. For flat moles that are black, blue, or brown in hue, laser treatment is an ideal option.
