Mole Removal FAQ in Bryn Mawr, PA

What is the fastest way to get rid of a mole on your face?

Most moles can be removed quickly by numbing the skin around the mole with a local anaesthetic and cutting away the lesion. This is performed as an outpatient procedure, and you will be able to leave once the wound has been stitched.

What causes moles?

Moles are caused when cells in the skin called melanocytes grow in clusters. Melanocytes are generally distributed throughout the skin. They produce melanin, the natural pigment that gives skin its color.

Is mole removal a big deal?

Generally, mole removal is a quick procedure and can be done in a single visit to your dermatologist. Your doctor will first inject a local anesthetic to the area around the mole. In this way, you won’t feel any pain during your mole removal surgery. They then cut the mole out, along with a precancerous skin spot.

What percentage of moles removed are cancerous?

What percentage can we expect? A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology suggests around 7% of suspicious mole removal is cancerous. This number drops when accounting for all moles removed, as most are benign (non-cancerous).

How long can you have a cancerous mole without knowing?

For example, certain types of skin cancer can be diagnosed initially just by visual inspection — though a biopsy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. But other cancers can form and grow undetected for 10 years or more , as one study found, making diagnosis and treatment that much more difficult.

What causes moles to suddenly appear?

Researchers are not sure why moles suddenly appear later in life. Most that do are benign and occur likely because of age, prescription drug use, sunburn or extensive sun exposure and genetic mutations. Any mole that appears and looks unordinary can be a cause for concern. New moles are more likely to become cancerous.

Can facial moles be removed?

Moles, particularly non-cancerous ones, can be easily removed with a minor surgical procedure. This type of mole removal can be done in an outpatient setting. Moles can be surgically removed, burned away or shaved off. There is a minor risk of infection, but side effects are generally minor.

What size mole should be removed?

As a general rule, a healthy mole should be no more than 6mm in diameter, or about the size of the width of a pencil eraser. If you have a mole that is noticeably larger than this, schedule an appointment with your physician.

How often do shaved moles grow back?

Can a mole grow back after it’s been removed? With every procedure, it’s hard to 100% predict if the removed lesion will grow back — the same goes for moles. Generally, if a mole has been removed completely without any cells left behind, it should not grow back.

What spray is used to remove moles?

Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) Treatment The LN2 treatment is a simple procedure that uses pressurized liquid nitrogen to freeze and eliminate moles and skin tags.
