Mole Surgery

Mole can be permanently removed by cutting (punch excision) with stitches. This proceduce is the best method because it removes feeding vessel of the mole and prevents its recurrence. Moles removed by excision (cutting) with stitches are usually darker in color or flat moles, or both.The surgeon maps out the mole and then sterilizes or cleans the area and numbs it.Then it is excised.Biopy of the mole should be performed this helps to find out whether it is precancerous or cancerous. Depending on the depth of the mole (how deeply the mole penetrates into the skin), stitches are placed either deep (these are absorbed by the body and do not have to be removed) or on the upper surface of the skin (these don't absorb and will be removed later).
