Mole Removal
Moles (also called melanocytic or pigmented naevi) are areas of pigmented skin.
Raised or flat, moles can be present from birth or can appear later in life. Most
moles are harmless, but you may wish to have a mole removed for cosmetic reasons.
Sometimes a mole has to be removed because there is a risk it has become malignant
(cancerous) or because it has become a nuisance (for example catching on clothes
or a razor).
Various methods are used to remove moles. Raised moles can be treated with shave
excision, where the mole is cut down to the level of the surrounding skin, either
using a scalpel or electro-surgery. Flat moles or moles that are suspected to be
malignant (cancerous) are cut out entirely and then the wound is closed up with
stitches.
Your specialist will advise which method of mole removal is most appropriate for
you.
All procedures carry risks as well as benefits. The chance of complications following
mole removal depends on the type of procedure and other factors such as your general
health. Your specialist will explain how the risks apply to you.
