Mole Removal

Moles are abnormal growths on skin. These can be as simple as a skin tag or as complicated as a Giant Hairy Nevus.

The most important task for a physician is to differentiate between a benign mole and a mole that can be pre-cancerous or cancerous. If there is any suspicion of cancer, the mole should always be biopsied.

In our practice we routinely remove facial moles. My preference is to use ‘shave excision’ that does not involve any deep cutting or stitches. It heals well and is a quick procedure.

If a mole is suspicious in appearance, it can be sent for biopsy (histpathological examination) as well.
