Mole Removal
Mole Removal
What is it?
Also called as “melanocytic nevus or pigmented nevus” or birthmark, mole is actually an aggregation of melanin producing cells. They are usually benign. It can be rough, flat or raised, pinpoint or big in size. Sometimes, when it is scratched or pulled off it may bleed. Any type of home remedy should be avoided to remove it as it may damage the normal skin surrounding the mole. Very rarely it fades away on its own but most of the times it has to be removed surgically or by the help of other treatment.

Types of mole
1. Congenital moles- mole that is present by birth.
2. Acquired moles- these moles develop later in life mostly because of sun exposure to the skin. They are mostly brown in color.

Treatment available at Skinfinity clinic
1. Shave excision- In this method we shave the mole superficially with the help of blade or scalpel.
2. Excisional biopsy- We punch out the mole along with the surrounding skin.
3. Electro cauterization - In this method with the help of cauterization device we cauterize the mole with no harm to the surrounding skin and the skin takes up the normal color.
4. Co2 laser therapy- In this method the latest and the most advanced laser is used to remove moles in no time. High energy laser beam specifically targets the mole, and the mole is burnt away. Skin heals and takes up the normal skin color. This procedure is the safest of all with least probability of scar formation after mole removal.
