What is a Mole
A mole, also known as a naevus, signifies a commonplace skin growth that materialises when cells responsible for pigment production, known as melanocytes, proliferate in clusters. They present themselves as diminutive, dark spots or can sometimes be flesh-toned minor lumps on your skin. Moles can exhibit a variety of colours, forms, and dimensions.
People get moles removed for lots of different reasons. Some of the main ones are:
You’re not happy with the way the mole looks.
The mole has got bigger and it’s really noticeable.
The mole tends to get caught on things like your hairbrush or your clothes and jewellery.
It’s making shaving tricky for you.
The mole is in a tough spot or it’s very delicate.
The mole often goes red and sore
What are the health reasons for getting a mole removed?
Sometimes, a skin doctor (Dermatologist) will say you should get a mole taken off for health reasons. Maybe they found something about one of your moles during a full skin check. If they need to take a closer look at the mole under a microscope, they’ll do a special test called a biopsy. You might need to get it removed if:
The mole has just appeared.
The mole looks different now – it could have gotten bigger, darker, or its shape might have changed.
It stands out from the rest of your moles.
Something about the mole just doesn’t seem normal.
There’s a worry that it might be turning into skin cancer.
What is cosmetic mole removal?
Taking off a mole because it doesn’t look nice or it’s always getting snagged is called cosmetic mole removal. The mole has to look OK health-wise when a Dermatologist checks it out before they’ll remove it for cosmetic reasons. Around 85% of these removals are done by partly cutting it away, and the rest involve cutting it out completely with a few stitches.
Cosmetic removal is usually for moles that stick out but haven’t changed colour or shape. We don’t take off flat moles just because of how they look. But if you’re worried about any moles, we can check them over thoroughly – think of it as a mole check-up.
What is medical mole removal?
This is when the Dermatologist thinks it’s best to get rid of a mole so they can get a closer look at it, like a biopsy. Most of the time, three-quarters, the removal involves cutting it out and stitching it up. The rest are done by cutting it partially away, but a bit deeper into the skin than for cosmetic reasons – this technique is called saucerisation.
