MOLE REMOVAL

Melanoma may evolve within a mole but typically develops on normal skin. People with many large and irregular moles are at greater melanoma risk.

Melanoma screening in these patients is challenging as the difference between unusual moles and melanoma can be subtle. Deciding whether or not a mole is suspicious enough for biopsy is a delicate art and science. Removal of normal moles does not reduce melanoma risk.

Many people have unsuspicious but unwanted moles. Moles irritated by daily life are best removed. Cosmetically unwanted moles may be candidates for removal based upon cosmetic risk/benefit analysis. Moles are removed via excision or CO2 surgical laser. Treatment is individualized.

Because of these limitations, 'elliptical' excision of moles with underlying skin (to prevent skin puckering) is sometimes recommended. It is best considered in cases with high risk of mole regrowth, re-pigmentation, or uneven post-treatment skin contours. In younger patients, elliptical excisions may heal with widened scarring due to the tug of surrounding elastic skin.

Elliptical excision is time and resource intensive. Depending on the surgeon's technique and skill, the resulting linear surgical scar varies from barely visible to distracting. Excellent clinical judgment and meticulous surgical skills are the key prerequisites for optimal mole evaluation and removal results.

REMOVAL OF NETS

Melanoma can come from a dysplastic nevus, but it often comes from healthy skin. Patients who have more and more misshapen moles have a higher chance of melanoma.

Mapping nevi in these patients is difficult as the difference between unusual nevi and melanoma can be faint. Deciding whether a mole is suspicious enough to biopsy is both a science and an art. It depends on the dermatologist's discretion and experience. Removing normal moles does not reduce a patient's chance of developing melanoma.

Many people have innocent but unwanted moles. Moles that interfere with daily activities and are injured are the ones that should best be removed. Moles considered unsightly by the patient are candidates for removal after a risk-benefit assessment. Moles are usually removed surgically, but in some cases it is possible to remove them with the surgical CO2 laser. Each treatment is individualized

 

The surgical removal of the nevus is done with an elliptical incision in healthy boundaries. The incision usually disappears or is barely noticeable. Of course this again depends on the skills of the clinician as well as his attention to detail.

"Surgical removal of moles, that is, using a scalpel and stitches, is the surest way to remove an olive that looks suspicious. An olive, that is, which should be sent for biopsy, for histological examination. It is a procedure that is done with local anesthesia only, in short times. It doesn't last long. In areas where there is tension from the skin, i.e. a tendency for the skin to open, we also use internal sutures which shorten the skin and take this tension, as a result of which we have a greater possibility to put much thinner external sutures which will leave us with a very more subtle thin and soft mark. What we ask of our patient is in the following days to avoid lifting significant weight, but to continue his activities normally. It is very important to remove an olive that is suspicious and send it for histological examination, to have a good result in our hands that will relieve us of anxiety. While many patients come and are worried, they think that if we remove an olive they will grow olives elsewhere on their body or something bad will happen to their body, which of course does not exist, it is completely wrong."
