The mole removal methods:
- Surgical excision: This is a minor surgical procedure that involves cutting out the mole and stitching the skin back together. Surgical excision is usually used for larger moles or moles that are suspected to be cancerous.
- Laser removal: This procedure uses a laser to destroy the mole tissue. Laser removal is a good option for small moles that are not cancerous.
- Cryotherapy: This procedure freezes the mole off using liquid nitrogen. Cryotherapy is a good option for small, non-cancerous moles.
- Electrocautery: This procedure uses an electric current to burn off the mole. Electrocautery is a good option for small, non-cancerous moles.
It is important to find a qualified dermatologist who has experience in mole removal. Be sure to ask about the risks and benefits of each procedure before making a decision.
Here are some tips for caring for your skin after mole removal:
- Keep the area clean and dry.
