Which moles can be removed and which cannot?

Separately, it should be said about moles, the removal of which may pose a risk to human health. You can identify safe moles, that is, those that do not pose a health hazard.

Their removal is possible to achieve a cosmetic effect. Such moles have a number of distinctive properties:

• Its diameter is no more than 0.5 cm;
• Hair grows on the mole;
• The skin at the site of the mole is identical in structure and texture to the rest of the skin;
• The nevus has clear boundaries;
• There is no sharp growth of the mole; the growth is practically invisible to the eye;

There are also dangerous moles, the removal of which can trigger the risk of developing skin cancer. It is important to understand that it is dangerous to remove them in aesthetic centers; such cases should be dealt with by an oncologist.

Conscientious specialists at cosmetic clinics will inform you of the slightest suspicion of malignancy, but some signs of a “dangerous” mole can be detected on your own:

• Active growth of the mole, rapid change in the structure and shape of the neoplasm;
• Hair loss from the surface;
• Such a mole appeared in adulthood;
• Peeling or crusting;
• Itching and burning in this area;
• Bleeding due to minor injury;
• Release of moisture.

Post-procedure care

After removal of the tumor, a small wound remains, which heals within 1.5-3 weeks (depending on the size of the removed tumor).

During healing, a crust forms on the wound, then the crust falls off and a pink spot remains - new skin, which, depending on the area of ​​the body, lasts from 3 weeks to six months. If the wound was small (up to 1 cm), then the place where the tumor was removed will be impossible to distinguish from areas of skin that are nearby. But if the wound was large, then a light spot may remain on the skin in the future, this is explained by the fact that there was not enough healing tissue and scar tissue formed.

After the laser procedure, it is not recommended for two weeks:

• prevent skin overheating or hypothermia;
• overexert yourself physically;
• go to the pool, solarium, sauna;
• contact with household chemicals;
• rub the wound with a towel;
• peel off the crust after excision;
• treat with alcohol.

The doctor will give recommendations for care and prescribe an antiseptic to treat the area where the tumor was removed.

Laser mole removal

A mole is a benign skin growth that occurs as a result of the proliferation of melanocytic (nevus) cells.

Melanocytes are cells that produce the pigment melanin. Moles in varying quantities can be found on the skin of almost every person - they appear throughout life and can be congenital.

The appearance of moles and their number is mainly determined by hereditary predisposition. However, external factors can accelerate their appearance and promote growth: ultraviolet radiation, hormonal disorders, pregnancy, etc.
