Mole Removal

One of the most common skin growth conditions today is the production of Moles on the body. Moles come in a variety of colors, shapes, types and sizes and can occur on various parts of the body. They can occur from early childhood into later years. There may be just one or a few scattered across the body. It is known that any growth that is present from birth is more likely to be a congenital birthmark. In most cases moles occur because of a strong hereditary occurrence. It is commonly heard that more than one member in a family has moles, including siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, and so on.

Moles may be pigmented or non-pigmented. If pigmented, color may vary from light tan to black. Moles that become blackish in color, elevated or rough in appearance, may prove to be a melanoma. It is important to have these types checked by the doctor and closely watched over time. Most times it becomes necessary to remove the mole because of the fact there is a chance it may prove cancerous. It is important to determine simple moles from other skin growths such as skin tags, seed warts, regular warts, and keratoses. These growths are usually cosmetic problems and clothes-catching nuisances. Your family doctor or dermatologist can easily remove most moles if the appearance becomes an issue or you just want them off of you.

The sun can have serious effects on skin growths and is most important for fair-skinned people. Fair-skinned individuals can be more sensitive to sunburn as well as changes in moles. It is very necessary to use protective sunscreen lotions when out in the sun to avoid potentially dangerous changes to the condition of your moles.

If concerned about a certain mole or multiple moles, your family doctor can give you some assurance that what you have is not life threatening. Unless a mole turns into a melanoma, he will most likely advise you to do nothing or to wait, watch and make periodic visits every month or so to keep up on the condition. If there is any question, the doctor will conduct a biopsy and then decide on the best treatment for your skin growth condition. Most moles are benign and no treatment is necessary unless the growth turns out to be a Melenoma.
