How is a mole removed?
Depending on the size, location and shape, moles may be removed in a number of ways.
- Cutting
With smaller nevi, the growth is cut or ‘shaved’ off flush with the skin with a scalpel or surgical scissors,while larger moles may require cutting out and stitching of wound edges. - Freezing
A mole may also be removed with liquid nitrogen. The doctor sprays a small amount of ultra-cold liquid nitrogen on a mole or skin tag, causing a small blister to form. When it heals, the mole will be gone. - Burning
Moles or skin tags may be burned off using an electric current passing through a hot wire. The area is first numbed with an anesthetic and the heat itself helps prevent any bleeding. Freezing and burning do not normally leave scars or marks.
How long will the treatment take?
Unless it is very large, a single mole can usually be removed with an simple incision operation. Several moles or a very large mole may require a series of operations.
What should you expect afterwards?
Normally, once a mole is removed it will not return. If, however, the mole grows back immediately, make a return appointment with your doctor, as this could be a sign of melanoma.
