About Moles or the Nevus
Increase in the density of the melanin pigment that gives the skin it’s colour, skin lesions with puffy nodules, are called moles. It is mostly seen in the face region. But it can be seen along with the arms ,legs, the  back and even the intimate areas can be efected. The sun’s harmful UV rays are effective in the production of these Moles. Environmental factors also play an active role in this.

Treatment Of Moles
It is possible to remove Moles by surgical or laser treatment methods.
Laser treatment is suitable for small or dot-shaped Moles. After removing Moles with the Laser Procedure, the treatment leaves a brown flaky skin in the treated area. Within 3-5 days this flaky skin will clear and leave the skin in a pinky colour. In time, the pinky colour will also heal without leaving a mark. With bigger Moles, slight dimples may occur similar to chicken pox marks on the skin. Mole removal surgery’s are done at the Clinics under local anesthesia. Often, the Moles are removed by an elliptical incision then the area is sewn by thin suture. The sutures melt on their own. Afterward, a pink mark will form where the Mole has been removed and that too will heal and dissapear within months. If need occurs, the removed Moles can be sent to Pathological Examination.

Most Moles are benign. Mostly it causes cosmetic problems. But over the years, as the skin is exposed to the sun’s rays for a long time, it is inevitable that Moles change their temperament. Overgrowth, wound formation on top of the Moles, bleeding, change of colour start to be seen.  It is seen at serious levels in light-toned skins. For these reasons, removal of the Moles is necessary.
