Most of the moles are benign and don’t have any malignant potential. But very rarely they can turn malignant. Malignant melanoma is a cancerous condition which can arise in a mole or melanocytic nevus. The danger signs include:

  • Asymmetry: or irregularity of the shape of mole
  • Border: Unlike a smooth border, the edges become irregular
  • Color: uneven color or variations in color can be a danger sign
  • Diameter: The spot is larger than the size of a pencil eraser.
  • Evolving or Elevation: The spot is changing in size, shape or texture.

Depth of the wound is gradually reduced and in most of the cases it can be removed in just one go. Almost 99%, and in 1% it might come back. There may be slight re occurrence at the edges and a small touch up is required to remove it completely. Sometimes scar may be left even after the treatment but if its done with an experienced dermatologist then, less chances of scar formation would be there.
  • One has to avoid makeup soon after the treatment.
  • One should avoid going out in the sun
  • Avoid vigorous activities soon after the treatment, for at least 24 hours.

According to Dr Shail Gupta, MD (renowned dermatologist) with almost 2 decades of experience in the field of dermatology says mole is considered as a beauty spot, and some moles looks really beautiful. But some people just don’t like the presence of mole on their face or different parts of body and they develop inferiority complex because of moles and most of the times they want the moles to be removed. Sometimes people go into depression so, proper counselling to the patients is required before we plan to remove it. And as said earlier not all moles look ugly and considered as beauty spot since ages. So, the mole which is affecting a person’s life can be removed to beautify the skin more. Mole removal usually helps the person in terms of self acceptance.
A prior consultation is required with the dermatologist to understand the need of the treatment. Medicines work hand in hand with the procedural treatments. Selection of the right treatment according to your needs is very much necessary. Knowing the downtime of the individual treatment and its outcome is equally important. After a thorough consultation , patient can opt for the treatment and can get it done after taking a prior appointment as per his/her availability.
