What are the safest and most effective methods for removing moles?

Nowadays, many girls have high requirements for their appearance, and a mole anywhere on the body will affect their mood. I have a friend who worries all day about how to remove a mole on her left cheek.

Because this mole is growing bigger as she gets older and begins to affect her image. She tried to remove the mole herself, but within a month it came back even bigger and darker than before. Here I would like to remind all the beauty-conscious ladies not to remove the mole by yourself, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. In the best case, the mole may re-emerge like my friend, and in the worst case, it may lead to disfigurement.

Mole Removal Methods

1: Chemical etching

Indications: Moles with lighter color and shallow location.

Method: Generally, a 50% concentration of trinitrocarbonic acid solution or alkaline agents such as sodium hydroxide are applied to the mole.

Advantages: Tricarbonic acid solution is not easy to burn the skin and cause scars; alkaline solution is highly corrosive and may take effect quickly.

Disadvantages: The effect of trinitrocarbonic acid solution is slow, and deeper moles may need to be treated 10 times; the corrosion depth of sodium hydroxide is not easy to control and may cause deep scars.

Electrocautery

Indications: Moles with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 cm.

Method: Use the principle of electric high-temperature burning to remove the mole by burning and carbonization.

Advantages: Easy to operate, some beauty salons may be able to do it.

Disadvantages: It is difficult to control the degree of burning and it is easy to leave scars.

Freezing method

Indications: Flat moles with a diameter of 0.3-0.5 cm, including freckles, etc.

Method: Use liquid nitrogen to freeze the nevus tissue extremely quickly, causing the cells around the nevus to form blisters and then fall off on their own.

Advantages: The depth of destruction is relatively easy to control, it can usually be cured in one treatment, and it is not easy to cause obvious scars.

Disadvantages: Large and thick moles need to be frozen multiple times to be cured, and special instruments must be used. The doctor's skills are also very important.

Laser method

Indications: Most moles, including deep and shallow moles, can be treated.

Method: Currently, shallow moles can be removed with lasers, such as ruby ​​laser, chrome laser or dye laser; if the moles are larger and deeper, carbon dioxide ultra-pulse laser should be used to remove them.

Advantages: Laser mole removal can control the size and depth of the optimal light spot, and is less likely to leave scars or become infected.

Disadvantages: For moles that are too deep, you may still need to treat them in multiple sessions.

Surgery

Indications: Large, raised moles with a diameter greater than 0.6 cm.

Method: Surgical removal of the diseased tissue around the mole.

Advantages: This method can choose to partially or completely remove the diseased tissue, and different treatment methods can be used depending on the nature of the mole.

Disadvantages: It is difficult and time-consuming, so this method is rarely used for common moles.

After removing a mole, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. After removing a mole, scabs will appear. At this time, you must pay attention to protection and do not scratch it with your hands, otherwise it will leave scars.

2. The most important point in nursing is the diet after surgery. You cannot smoke or drink, eat spicy food, or eat seafood.

3. Keep the treated area as dry as possible within one week after mole removal. Dry it gently with a clean towel as soon as possible after washing or contact with water.

4. After applying the medicine on the mole, a black scab will generally form on the area within 1-2 days, and the scab will fall off automatically in about 1-2 weeks. After the scab falls off, fresh red skin will grow. Sometimes the color will deepen due to excessive sunlight exposure. It will recover in about 3-6 months.

5. After mole removal, the treated area should be avoided from sunlight to prevent sunburn and pigmentation. Especially for a period of time after the scab falls off, special attention should be paid to sun protection.

The above are the care work and points to pay attention to after mole removal. Not only do you need to strengthen care after mole removal, but you also have to go to a regular hospital to ensure that there is no possibility of scars.

After listening to the above methods, have you, who loves beauty, already thought of a way to remove moles in your mind? Please note that it must be done under the premise of safety. I know someone who had a very small mole removed improperly, but ended up with half of his face covered in black. It looked really scary.
