Mole Removal Treatment in South Delhi

Mole, medically termed naevus, is typically round, small, and uniformly colored skin growth. Having around 10-40 moles on different body parts is completely normal and not a cause of medical or cosmetic concern. Most of the moles are harmless.

What is mole removal?

Mole removal or skin mole treatment refers to the cosmetic dermatological procedures used for the treatment of moles on the face or any other prominent body sites.

Types of Moles

There are different types of moles based on:

Their appearance to the naked eye
Their appearance through dermatoscopy
The cells they are made of
The way they grow.

Some types of moles on the face include:

Common/normal moles

Congenital moles
Acquired/atypical moles (dysplastic nevi)
Spitz naevi (slightly raised mole, differing in color from red to dark brown or black)
Blue naevi (uniformly blue-colored mole)
Dermal naevi (usually raised, flesh-colored, or brown moles that may have hairy surfaces)
Halo naevi (mole with surrounding area of pale/white skin).

Based on the types of moles, the diagnosis and treatment are provided by a dermatologist.

Causes of Moles

Typically, moles develop when the skin cells cluster on the skin. Most moles are made of melanocytes, the melanin pigment-producing cells.

Different factors turn out to be potential causes of moles, including:

Sun exposure
Age
Hormones

Genetics
Certain medical conditions like xeroderma pigmentosum and neurofibromatosis.

The red moles on the skin causes are generally the same as above but may also include certain chemical exposure, mechanical skin damage, pancreatic dysfunction, thyroid pathology, and pancreatic dysfunction.

Symptoms of Mole

The symptoms of mole are variable depending on the type of mole and whether it’s a typical or atypical one.

Atypical moles are bigger, have irregular borders, are asymmetrical in shape, and are of different colors. Some mole's size, shape, texture, and color change, and they may be associated with symptoms like pain, bleeding, oozing, crusting, or itching.

By looking at how the moles look, a dermatologist can identify the type of mole and appropriately remove them.

Diagnosis of Mole

A dermatologist can help diagnose a mole by:

A thorough visual examination using the naked eye- It is done first to see for anything unusual with typical mole characteristics.
Dermatoscopy- This is performed using a handheld magnifying, an illuminating device called a dermatoscope to closely look at the mole irregularities.

Biopsy- If the mole irregularity is suspected to be cancerous or precancerous, it is confirmed with a biopsy. A biopsy is done by excising the mole and analyzing it further in a laboratory.

After a mole is diagnosed, a dermatologist suggests how to remove moles, either a mole removal surgery or laser mole removal, depending on the type and extent of the mole.

Options for Mole Removal Treatment in South Delhi

In-clinic, effective mole removal options in South Delhi offered at Soul Derma include:

Cryotherapy- This treatment involves the application of freezing liquid nitrogen to the benign mole to make it wither off on its own over time.
Burning- This treatment involves the use of an electric current to burn off the upper layers of a non-cancerous mole.
Laser mole removal- This treatment is reserved usually to thermally destroy and remove flat or brown moles with heat generated by laser light.

Shaving- A scalpel or razor blade is used to shave off the mole if not suspected to be cancerous.

Reduced risk of spread of skin cancer (like molar pregnancy after hydatidiform mole treatment)
Improved appearance and self-esteem as well as confidence (after treatment of moles on face on other visible body sites)

What to expect after mole removal?
