Mole Removal!
- Avoid removing the mole if it is given as an identification mark for government documents such as driving license, ration card, voters card, etc.
- If you have tendency to develop keloids or hypertrophic scars then invasive procedures must be avoided.
- Mole with irregular margin and colour should be surgically excised and sent for histopathological examination to rule out melanoma.
- Mole removal can leave behind a scar or pigmentation especially when it is big or deep.
- You must follow up after suture removal, your dermatologist may suggest you topical medication to make your scar less prominent.
- Remember, your mole can regrow from the little remnants which may have been left behind.
