Mole Removal
Looking for Mole Removal Near You?
Moles are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on your body. While most moles are harmless, it’s important to monitor any changes, as certain types of moles may require removal for health or cosmetic reasons. At Chequers Health, we provide professional mole removal services, helping patients from Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Wigan, and surrounding areas ensure the health and appearance of their skin.
Moles come in various types, and it’s crucial to understand the differences to determine if this procedure is necessary. Some of the common types of benign moles include:
- Melanocytic Nevi: These moles can be further categorised into:
- Junctional Nevi: Located between the epidermis and dermis.
- Intradermal Nevi: Found deeper in the skin.
- Mixed Nevi: Spanning the full thickness of the skin.
- Epidermal Nevi: Non-cancerous lesions caused by excessive cell growth in the epidermis, often visible from birth or early childhood.
- Sebaceous Nevi: These moles are composed of sebaceous glands, usually appearing yellowish-orange and shiny, commonly found on the scalp.
Initial Diagnosis and Classification of Moles
Moles can be classified into three categories based on their appearance and potential risks:
- Benign Moles: These are normal moles that are usually harmless but may be removed for cosmetic reasons or due to personal preference.
- Potentially Malignant Moles: Moles that show signs of change and may indicate malignancy. These should be monitored closely.
- Malignant Melanoma: A dangerous type of skin cancer that can develop from moles. It typically presents with irregular shapes, colour variation, or bleeding. Early detection and mole removal are crucial to prevent the spread of melanoma.
The Procedure
If a mole needs to be removed, the procedure is quick and typically painless. At Chequers Health, our mole removal process involves the following steps:
- Local Anaesthesia: The area is numbed to prevent discomfort during the procedure.
- Mole Removal: Using a specialised cold blade, the mole is carefully flattened and removed from the skin.
- Bleeding Control: A coagulating solution is applied to minimise any bleeding.
- Post-Procedure Care: A regenerating cream is applied to the area, and patients are advised to avoid sun exposure during the healing process to ensure proper recovery.
The mole removal procedure generally takes around 5 minutes, with minimal scarring. The area will heal over the following weeks, and you can expect a smooth and clear result.
