Mole and Skin Tag Removal
‘Moles’ and ‘Beauty Spots’ are very broad terms. Some of them can be removed easily and painlessly using lasers or radiofrequency ablation in a single treatment. The laser vaporizes and zaps away the mole. Larger moles may have to be treated in multiple sessions using lasers. Some may need plastic surgery excision. Some are best left alone.
Some may need to sent to the lab for testing after an excision. Some may first need examination using a special lens called a dermatoscope. Some are removed using a cream anaesthetic. Other may need a small local injection to anesthetize the area before removal. Most of these moles are removed purely for cosmetic reasons. Some may have to be removed for medical purposes (if the mole is dysplastic or malignant).
Sometimes a beauty spot turns out to be a wart, which is a slow growing viral infection, which must be removed as a medical treatment. On the other hand, skin tags are absolutely harmless, but a patient may refer to his skin tags as ‘warts’. Consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon for correct diagnosis and advice.
