What are the methods to remove moles?

A mole is medically called a nevus cell or melanocytic nevus, which is a skin manifestation caused by an increase in melanocytes in the epidermis and dermis.

Types of moles Rashes that are raised above the skin surface, have a dome-like or nipple-like appearance, or have a pedicle are clinically called intradermal nevi; those that are slightly raised above the skin surface are mostly compound nevi; those that are not raised above the skin surface are junctional nevi.
Which moles need to be removed ? Don't take moles lightly. Since almost 60% of malignant melanomas are caused by the malignant transformation of moles, how to identify the malignant transformation of moles is particularly important for the early diagnosis of melanoma.
Generally, moles that are congenital or that have existed for 10 years or more without any obvious changes are unlikely to transform into malignant melanomas. Moreover, most moles are benign, with neat and even edges in black or dark brown, and can be easily divided into two symmetrical parts by a straight line. The characteristics of malignant transformation of moles are: irregular edges, irregular tortuosity and twisting; not all black, but mixed colors, interlaced with each other, usually can not be divided into two symmetrical parts by a straight line; very small at first, not easy to detect, but progressive growth, when it grows to the size of the eraser head on a pencil, it is clearly visible. Since the incidence of malignant melanoma is related to ultraviolet radiation, experts remind that unnecessary sun exposure should be reduced as much as possible. For some moles located in special parts, such as the soles of the feet, palms of the hands, vulva and other parts that easily cause friction with the skin, you should go to the hospital for surgical removal to avoid the malignant transformation of the moles after frequent friction.
What are the methods for removing moles? 1. Laser vaporization method Explanation: Use high-intensity laser energy to cause the melanin cells of the mole to disintegrate and vaporize, breaking them into fragments and forming powder, which can then fall off by gently wiping with a cotton swab.
Advantages and disadvantages: Simple and quick-acting. When doing laser treatment, the laser vaporizes the mole tissue, and the doctor gently wipes it with a cotton swab, and the tissue falls off. It is highly controllable and can accurately judge the depth of treatment and observe whether there is any mole tissue remaining.
Generally, most moles can be removed without leaving any traces after laser treatment. Only some larger and deeper moles may have a small pit. For those with very deep pigmented cells, laser mole removal may still leave residues. Since it is impossible to make a 100% clear judgment with the naked eye, there is a possibility of recurrence. Therefore, some moles may need to be treated several times.
Instructions: Moles that are not in weight-bearing or friction areas (such as the soles of the feet, toes, palms, nail beds, neck, and perineum) can be removed by laser. Especially if there is hair on the mole, there is basically no possibility of malignant transformation, and laser treatment is safe.
Ten types of people are not suitable for laser mole removal
1. People with acute skin problems or those who are taking photosensitivity drugs are not suitable for laser mole removal;
2. Skin lesions related to melanoma (such as abnormally developed moles, malignant moles, etc.) cannot be treated;
3. If you are a skin cancer patient, you should pay more attention to the precautions of laser mole removal;
4. People with immune deficiency need to read the precautions of laser mole removal;
5. People with psychological disorders and pregnant women cannot undergo this type of surgery;
6. People who are unwilling to take the risk of minor scarring should not undergo treatment;
7. People with photosensitive skin or those who are taking photosensitive drugs are not suitable for laser mole removal;
8. People with scar-prone constitutions should not undergo laser mole removal.
9. People with hyperpigmentation or dark spots caused by inflammation and drugs (including cosmetics) should not be treated;
10. People with coagulation disorders or those who are taking anticoagulants should also consider this carefully.
2. Explanation of surgical excision method: Make a fusiform excision with the mole as the center and then suture it together.
Advantages and disadvantages: If you want to find a way to completely remove a mole, surgery is the most reliable method. But when it comes to surgery, many people are psychologically afraid, worrying that the wound will be larger and there is a risk of infection. And for people with scar-prone constitution, there is a risk of scar hyperplasia.
For moles in special areas, i.e. weight-bearing or friction areas (such as soles, toes, palms, nail beds, neck, and perineum), because moles in these areas are mostly junctional moles and have the potential to become malignant, it is best to completely remove them through surgery, and a pathological tissue examination can be performed to determine the nature. If there are malignant lesions, they can be discovered and treated early.
Guidance: Moles in weight-bearing or friction areas such as the palms, soles of the feet, nail beds, the back of the neck near the collar, and the perineum are at risk of becoming malignant. Using lasers may stimulate malignancy, so it is best to have surgery to remove them. In addition, moles with a diameter greater than 1 cm are also suitable for surgical removal, otherwise the wound will heal slowly after laser treatment and may easily leave scars.
3. Explanation of chemical burning method: There are mole washing with chemicals and freezing mole with liquid nitrogen. The so-called mole removal water is actually using medicine to corrode the skin, causing the skin tissue of the mole to necrotize and then fall off. Liquid nitrogen mole removal is similar to the principle of burning. Liquid nitrogen is injected into the mole, causing the skin tissue to necrotize and fall off.
Advantages and disadvantages: These two methods are relatively cheap, but they do not work immediately and the recovery time is longer. The wound will take 1-3 weeks to heal after scabbing. What's more troublesome is that it is difficult to control the depth when using the chemical burning method. If the treatment is too shallow, the mole cannot be removed completely and may grow back after a while. If the treatment is too deep, it is easy to leave pits and scars, which will become uglier.
Instructions: Do not try this type of mole removal method on your own, especially if you are prone to scarring. If you really want to do it, you can choose to consult the plastic surgery department of a regular hospital. Under the operation of a qualified doctor, the risk will be reduced.
Indications for electrocautery: moles with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 cm.
Method: Use the principle of electric high-temperature burning to remove the mole by burning and carbonization.
Advantages and disadvantages: The advantage is that it is easy to operate and some beauty salons may be able to perform it. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control the degree of burning and it is easy to leave scars.
Folk remedies for removing moles 1. Potato method for removing moles: Clean your face and do not use makeup on the area with moles; Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, then stick them on the area with moles. It is best to keep them on while sleeping at night. After fifteen days, the mole can be removed.
2. White vinegar mole removal method: Wash your face, use a cotton ball dipped in white vinegar to wipe the mole with a little force. Stop applying when you feel a slight stinging sensation. Do this for seven days and the mole will turn black, form a scab and fall off naturally. Be careful not to get the area with the mole wet before it falls off.
3. Battery mole removal method: Find a used battery (such as a flashlight battery), wait for it to become soft and moist naturally, then knock the battery open and leave the white paste. Use the tip of the needle to gently prick the area around the mole and apply white paste. Remove it after half a day, and the mole will fall off easily like a scar after a healed wound. This method is very effective and has no side effects, but you should be careful not to apply the paste to other surrounding skin.
4. Peanut kernel and alcohol mole removal method: Burn the peanut kernels and crush them, mix them with alcohol, and apply them on the mole. Apply and wrap it before going to bed every night, and wash it off the next morning. The mole can be removed by using it for half a month, and a large mole will take about one month.
5. Lime and pure alkali method for removing moles: Use 10 grams of fresh lime and pure alkali each, add a little alcohol and mix well. Apply it on the mole once a day. The mole will disappear after 7 days. This method is somewhat similar to the mole removal method used by quacks, and it works quite well.
Precautions for mole removal Note 1: Do not get the treated area exposed to water, and take the medication as directed by the doctor for one week.
Note 2: Depending on the condition of each patient, different numbers of follow-up visits may be required. Please follow the doctor's instructions and seek timely follow-up treatment to ensure effective treatment.
Note 3: For customers with scabs, please let the scabs grow and fall off naturally, and do not tear them off by yourself.
Note 4: Please do not expose the area that has received laser treatment to sunlight to reduce or avoid the occurrence of pigmentation.
Note 5: Regardless of the disease, please do not eat spicy food within 1 week after receiving laser treatment.
Note 6: Please do not undergo exfoliation, microdermabrasion and other treatments during treatment. Please seek consent from your treating physician if necessary.
Note 7: You can use daily skin care products normally one week after the operation. For functional products, please obtain the consent of your treating physician before use.
