A Case of Growing Mole Treated using Laser Excision

By, Dr Swetha, Dermatologist in Indira Nagar.

Consultant skin specialist and dermatologist at dr Swetha Cosmoderm Centre.

I. Overview :

Moles are a form of skin growth that is very common. There’s a fair chance you have more than one on your face and body. The average person has 10 to 40 moles on their skin.

Most moles are harmless and pose no threat. A mole does not need to be removed unless it is bothering you. However, removing the mole is a choice if you don’t like how it affects your appearance or if it’s becoming sore from rubbing against your clothes.

You might be tempted to remove moles by yourself because of the convenience and cost. However, there are severe consequences to this. So, it would be best if you visited a dermatologist for mole removal instead of taking up risky solutions by yourself
