Ways of quickly removing moles
Quick ways to remove of moles
Even in ancient Rome have moles been regarded as something bad and unsightly, and it is no different today. It is too bad that blemishes have a bad habit of showing up exactly in those places we don’t want them to, such as on the sensitive skin of the face, and there isn’t much that can be done to prevent them.
Others usually don’t understand the emotional effect a facial mole can cause. To begin with, getting a unsightly mole in an unlucky spot such as on your face or neck can sometimes ruin someones self confidence and self perception. A similar situation can be imagined with moles on the torso which to everyone else might go unnoticed but to the patient can be inhibiting to the point that they will refuse to go to a swimming pool and so on. A very self conscious individual may become withdrawn and drastically different from his of her normal happy self.
Other aspects:
But the truly dangerous aspect is that a mole may sometimes develop into cancer, a melanoma. It can be very hard to distinguish some types of moles from melanomas and sometimes a mole sufferer might overlook something important and dangerous thinking that it is just another mole.
Luckily for all mole sufferers we have a bunch of good methods of removing blemishes wherever they might pop up so do not despair and lose hope. All of the available methods, from simple creams that you can use yourself in the comfort of your own home, to expensive surgery in posh clinics, all available mole removal methods have their pros and cons. To get the desired result you need to research the methods and find out which of them are most suitable for your personal needs. It doesn’t really matter if you want to get rid of a blemish because of career reasons or health reasons, the more you know the better choice you can make.
Below are the most common methods that are used for mole removal today and a short description of how the procedure is done, and what risks and costs are involved.
Scalpel Removal
This type of procedure is usually done on small moles that have well defined borders and color and have been deemed to be safe and non cancerous by medical personnel. It consists of the doctor removing the mole and base with a scalpel after numbing the area by injecting an anesthetic and cleaning the area with a antibacterial solution. When the skin tag is gone the doctor has a couple of options to choose from. Depending on the size of the wound he or she will either stitch it up or simply put a bandage over it to let it heal. Stitches can sometimes be non permanent that dissolve and do not require a return visit to remove. If there is reason to suspect that there might be malignancy, samples from the cutout part of the blemish can be sent to a laboratory for evaluation. Since the procedure is very simple it can be performed in small outpatient clinics and even by home calling doctors.
Shaving
A shaving procedure cuts away the top layer of the mole in a similar fashion to shaving with a razor. It can be beneficial since it heals easier and quicker than a base excision and requires no stitches at all. As in the methods above the area around the mole will be numbed with anesthesia and cleaned before the procedure. This procedure is cost effective. It can leave some darker skin since the base of the mole is still remaining in your skin. The procedure is quick and can be used to take samples from the mole to check for cancers.
Laser Mole Removal
This procedure is similar to normal scalpel excision except that a laser is used to cut instead of a scalpel. The benefits of this method is that it has the lowest risk of scarring. Unfortunately this method can be a bit pricey compared to the other ones, especially if you have multiple moles to remove.
