Mole Removal

WHAT IS A MOLE?

A mole, also known as a nevus, is a common type of skin growth that can appear anywhere on the body. Moles are usually small, dark brown spots with defined edges, although they can also be pink or flesh colored.

Moles are caused by clusters of pigmented cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment that gives color to the skin. Most moles are harmless, but some can develop into melanoma, a type of skin cancer that can be deadly if not detected and treated early.

While the majority of moles are benign, it’s important to monitor them for any changes in size, color, or shape, as these can be signs of melanoma. In general, it’s recommended to have any new moles or changes in existing moles checked by a dermatologist to rule out the possibility of skin cancer.

Overall, moles are a common and usually harmless type of skin growth. However, it’s important to be aware of any changes in moles and to have them checked by a medical professional if there are any concerns.

People may look to remove their moles for aesthetic or medical reasons. One of the most common myth that everyone thinks about when they think “moles” is that they can turn into skin cancer. While it’s true that some moles can develop into melanoma, not all moles are cancerous or precancerous. In fact, most moles are harmless and pose no risk of developing into skin cancer.

SAFETY CONCERNS

Mole removal is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and safety concerns to be aware of. Some of these concerns include bleeding, infection, scarring, allergic reactions and in some rare cases, recurrence. It is important to discuss any safety concerns you have with your doctor before undergoing mole removal, and to carefully follow their post-procedure instructions to minimize the risk of complications.

FAQ

Mole Removal Treatment

How do I know if a mole needs to be removed?

Any mole that changes in size, shape, colour, or starts to bleed should be evaluated by a doctor promptly. Many moles are removed for cosmetic reasons, to improve appearance, especially those on the face, neck, or other visible areas.

What method is used to remove moles at Dr. Fariha’s clinic?

Depending on the mole’s size and depth, removal can be done by shave excision, surgical excision, or laser. The most appropriate method is selected during your consultation to ensure the best cosmetic outcome with minimal scarring.

Will mole removal leave a scar?

Some degree of healing is expected after removal, but Dr. Fariha uses techniques designed to minimise scarring. Post-treatment care instructions are provided to help the skin heal well, and follow-up treatments can be used to further improve the appearance of any marks.

Is mole removal safe? How long does it take?

Yes, mole removal is a routine, safe procedure. Most removals take just 15–30 minutes in the clinic and are done under local anaesthetic. There is very little downtime, and you can usually return to your daily routine the same day.
