Some people are born with moles, and in some, the moles appear later in their life. Moles can be flat or raised, and they are commonly flesh-colored, brown, or black in appearance. Moles are described sometimes as skin imperfections or beauty mark. Moles are generally harmless, but sometimes they affect your appearance and makes your bother.
Types of moles
Moles can be of many types- compound, dermal, and blue moles. Congenital nevi are the type of moles that are present at birth, and they have an increased risk of developing into skin cancer. The larger and smaller congenital nevi must be examined, and any change in the birthmark must be reported.
Mole removal techniques
There are varieties of techniques available at Dermaworld Skin Clinics by which the moles can be removed safely. Mole removal is usually a painless treatment. Some of the commonly used safe and effective methods used by a dermatologist are:
Surgical Excision
In surgical excision method, the area is numbed, and then the whole mole is cut. Then with the help of stitches, the wound is closed. The stitches are removed after six to seven days of treatment.
Surgical Shave
The other method is the surgical shave, in which the blade is used to shave off the mole. The stitches or sutures are not used in this method. A tiny mark is left, and its visibility may fade away with time.
Freezing the mole
Moles that haven't grown to the deep layers of the skin can be frozen off with the application of liquid nitrogen, and this treatment may leave skin with blisters.
Laser Treatment
Lasers are not used for deep mole removal as it cannot penetrate that deep into the skin layers. Laser treatment requires multiple sessions and is useful to remove multiple moles at a time.
After mole removal, the risks may involve pain, infection, reddening of the site, pus coming from the wound, anesthesia allergy, nerve damage, and in many rare cases, sepsis can also occur. A scar may also form, as the larger the size of the mole, bigger will be the scar. Generally, the scar fades away with time, and its appearance diminishes.
Treatment must be performed by the safe hands of an experienced and qualified dermatologist only. This will minimize the chances of occurrence of risks or complications.

Moles and cancer
Irregular enlarging moles can be a sign of cancer called melanoma. The mole that develops after 30 years of age can be cancerous, and in this state, it requires immediate medical attention to diagnosis and determine its state.
If the mole changes color, shape, and scabs over, it could also be the sign of the deadliest form of skin cancer. One must immediately consult with a dermatologist if a mole is painful, bleeds, itches, or burns.
Moles are harmless growths on the skin which form as clusters of pigmented (melanocytes) cells that are brown, tanned, or black in color. Melanocytes are the cells that produce melanin, the natural pigment which gives color to the skin. These cells are uniformly distributed throughout the skin. Moles occur when these melanocyte cells in the skin grow and form clusters or clumps on the skin.
Moles are usually harmless and are one of the most common cosmetic concern among many people. A person having moles on their skin usually feels self-conscious about their aesthetic features that affect their self-confidence and quality of life. Now, with the advancement in aesthetic treatments, it is possible to remove moles from the skin in a safe, quick, and effective manner.

Healing time after a mole removal treatment generally differs from person to person, depending upon the age of the patient, type of technique used for mole removal, skin type, and size of a mole. Usually, in young individuals healing is faster as compared to older individuals. Large mole removal takes more time to heal than a smaller one. However, a mole removal scar takes at least two to three weeks to heal.
Laser treatment is one of the best and fastest way to get rid of moles. This treatment involves emitting intense laser radiation that is used to break down the mole cells present in the skin. It is a noninvasive, and targets multiple moles at a time. However, depending upon the size of the mole and proper skin examination, the dermatologist will determine the best way for mole removal.
