The Mole Removal Experts

There can be many reasons for which removing moles at home may be harmful. Firstly, you may not remove the entire mole; in such a case, it would re-grow. Second, home remedies, including cutting or burning off the mole, can cause infections when not done properly. Medical treatments will always be the best approach to removing a mole because some of the moles removed are signs of skin cancer. The wrong methods may also cause scarring or loosen your skin, particularly on the face or other noticeable areas. It is better to consult a doctor or dermatologist for mole removal, which will be the safest and most effective way.

In dermatology, we recommend the “ABCDE” model for spotting cancerous moles. Make sure you are monitoring and checking your skin for any changes in a mole that may show these signs.

• Assymetry: Check for asymmetry when one half of the mole does not look like the other in size, shape, colour, or texture.
• Borders: If any mole appears to have an irregular border, we advise seeing a dermatologist.
• Colour: Moles that are not uniform in colour or shade should be checked by a doctor.

• Diameter: Moles greater than 6 mm in diameter, but smaller lesions with other concerning symptoms, may need to be checked.
• Evolves: If a mole changes colour, size, or shape, it should be assessed promptly. These changes may be precancerous or cancerous.

Following these steps often to check your skin could help catch problems early and get treated properly.

A mole biopsy is performed by lightly scraping the sample of cells and accompanying skin using a sharp blade. Performed in a clinic using local anaesthesia, the sample is then examined to determine whether the cells are normal or have signs of cancer.

Mole removal is primarily used for cosmetic reasons, but it may also serve medical purposes. To assure that none of your mole cells turn into cancer or cause them to get larger and spread to other areas, Our qualified doctor makes sure that every single one is properly cut off. You need to follow up with your provider after the mole removal appointment and make sure that you are healing well. We advise coming in once a year to check your moles and the rest of the skin.

Mole removal is generally a permanent cure. Occasionally, the same mole removed could grow back later if it had not been removed sufficiently deeply. If this happens, you may require alternative therapy. At Harley Street Skin Clinic, we have performed a lot of mole removals gently, and those patients did not require additional treatment.
