There are many reasons that some people will have moles removed, they may not like the way it looks, or they just want them gone from their bodies.
There are two surgical ways to remove moles; one from the cutting out the moles and then the stitch called as excision with stitches. Other is to erase by using a tool that burns the mole, this method is called as excision with cauterization.
Some people have tried using lasers to get rid of their moles; however this is not usually the chosen method because the laser light does not penetrate as deep as need be to remove moles that are deeply rooted in the skin. Many dermatologists will prescribe the excision method with stitches or without, usually dependent on whether the mole is deep and if the outcome is positive.
Moles are always considered as dark spots, birthmarks, skin allergies, keratoses or with some abnormal blood vessels. The doctors will differ in their opinion as the procedure involved in the removal of moles is entirely different from the procedure of removing skin marks.
The mole size, the type and the development is always with the exposure of the mole to sun. Other than this the moles may appear at the time of birth, or with the age or may be just because it is in your family.
The risky part about mole removal is that there is some risk that range from infections and allergy, as well as some nerve damage. It is very important to get a dermatologist who has the right skills needed to help you with this kind of removal.
The surgical complication may increase depending on the size and the place where the moles are situated. The other risk with the mole removal is that it will leave a scar after the surgical procedure is completed. Your surgeon has to give details about the procedure of mole removal surgery and the type and place of the mole.
The first step implied to remove moles is to clean the area in and around the mole, next would be to inject anesthetic to the mole and letting the area to become numb. Depending on the power of the anesthetic it would take 15 to 20 minutes for the area to get numb. There will be a drape that will be placed on you depending on the type of surgical method and the size of the mole. Later the mole is shaved by the surgeon using the scalpel. Then the mole area is burnt using an instrument. This burning step may result in bleeding hence a solution is used to clean the area and covered with bandages. An antibiotic is given to heal the wound resulted after the surgical procedure is complete.
When the procedure is over, you will want to have a salve with antibiotics and bandages to keep the wound from getting infected. You will want to clean your wound once daily using every day water or even diluted hydrogen peroxide. Now you can go on with life blemish free once you have removed your moles.
