Everything You Should Know About Mole Removal

Why a mole may need to be removed
Moles are common skin growths. You probably have more than one on your face and body. Most people have 10 to 40 moles somewhere on their skin, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.

Most moles are harmless and nothing to worry about. Unless a mole is cancerous, you don’t need to have it removed unless it bothers you. But if you don’t like the way it affects your appearance, or if it’s getting irritated from rubbing against your clothes, removing the mole is still an option.

How do I find out if a mole is cancerous?
The best way to know if a mole is cancerous is to see a dermatologist for an annual skin cancer screening. If you have a history of skin cancer, your dermatologist may recommend screening more often.

Meanwhile, you should schedule a checkup with your dermatologist if you notice any moles that:

are asymmetrical
have irregular borders
are not uniform in color
have a diameter that’s larger than a pencil eraser
are evolving or changing in size, shape, or color
These are known as the ABCDEs of mole checks.

These types of moles should be evaluated by a dermatologist, who can then decide if they should be tested for skin cancer.


How is it done? (in office)
A dermatologist can typically remove a mole during a routine office visit. Sometimes a follow-up visit is necessary to complete a mole removal.

Two main types of surgical procedures are used for mole removal:

Freezing. This procedure uses a small amount of liquid nitrogen to remove a noncancerous mole.
Burning. This procedure uses an electric current to burn off the upper layers of a noncancerous mole. It may take more than one session to complete the mole removal.
Shaving. This procedure involves using a surgical blade to shave the mole off the skin’s surface.
Excision. This procedure goes deeper than shaving to excise the entire mole and stitch the skin back together. This type of removal is typically used if the mole is cancerous.
