Mole Removal FAQ in Fort Lauderdale, FL

What happens if you pick a mole off?

Cutting off any growth increases your risk of infection, especially if the tool you use is not properly sanitized. You can also create a permanent scar where the mole once was. Another risk of removing a mole yourself is that you can’t tell if a mole is cancerous. A mole could be melanoma.

Is it better to remove moles or leave them?

If you’re wondering if removing moles prevent skin cancer, the answer is no. Cutting out a mole does not mean your cancer is reduced. Precancerous moles may need to be removed to reduce the cause of contracting skin cancer. Although moles are harmless, some people may want to remove their mole for cosmetic reasons.

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.

When should I be concerned about a mole?

Dermatologists recommend that you examine your skin every month. Most moles are benign (non-cancerous). If you notice changes in a mole’s color or appearance, have your mole evaluated by a dermatologist. You also should have moles checked if they bleed, ooze, itch, appear scaly, or become tender or painful.

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.

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.

What are the 5 warning signs of malignant melanoma?

Asymmetry. The shape of one-half of the mole does not match the other. Border. The edges are ragged, notched, uneven, or blurred. Color. Shades of black, brown, and tan may be present. Diameter. Evolving.

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.

How fast does melanoma spread?

Melanoma can grow very quickly. It can become life-threatening in as little as 6 weeks and, if untreated, it can spread to other parts of the body. Melanoma can appear on skin not normally exposed to the sun. Nodular melanoma is a highly dangerous form of melanoma that looks different from common melanomas.

What happens if mole biopsy is positive?

Generally, after a patient receives positive melanoma results, his or her doctors will need to proceed with staging the malignancy— which essentially means determining the extent of the cancer—and developing a treatment plan based on how far the cancer has progressed.
