Moles and lumps:
Most moles don’t need treatment. If you’re self-conscious about a mole, you could try makeup to help conceal it. If you have hair growing from a mole, you might try clipping it close to the skin’s surface or plucking it. Anytime you cut or irritate a mole, keep the area clean. See your doctor if the mole doesn’t heal.
You might also consider surgically removing a mole if it bothers you or if you notice suspicious changes in it. Mole removal takes only a short time and is usually done on an outpatient basis. Your doctor numbs the area around the mole and cuts it out, along with a margin of healthy skin if necessary. Then they can close the wound in the appropriate way like suturing.
Mole removal methods vary based on size, location, diagnosis, scarring risk, and other factors. The procedure involves a local anesthetic injection, which may sting briefly, but the area will be numb afterward. The lesion is then removed, the wound closed and dressed. We strongly recommend sending all removed samples for pathology testing to confirm the diagnosis.
The same principles apply to lumps like lipomas (fatty growths) or sebaceous cysts.
Common side effects include bleeding, infection, scarring, and the possibility of recurrence requiring re-operation. Rare side effects include skin discoloration, hypertrophic or keloid scarring (more common in darker skin), and temporary numbness.
Removal methods include:
- Excision: Cutting out the lesion with a margin and closing the wound.
- Shave Excision: Shaving the lesion level with the skin.
- Curettage & Cauterization: Scraping the lesion and using electricity to burn the base (may be repeated in one session).
- Punch Excision: Used for very small lesions.
- Complex Excisions: May require a flap or graft for closure.
We offer free consultations to discuss the best approach for removing problematic lesions.
