Mole and Papilloma Removal

Why should moles and papillomas be removed?

Sometimes a mole may begin to change in size, shape, or color, or become itchy, flaky, or otherwise symptomatic. These changes are important reasons to consult a dermatologist.

If there are any signs of concern, the dermatologist will perform a thorough examination and, if necessary, recommend the most appropriate treatment or removal procedure.

Which moles are considered suspicious?

A mole should be evaluated by a doctor if it has any of the following characteristics:

• Asymmetrical shape;

• Irregular or poorly defined borders;

• Uneven or multiple colors;

• Increase in size;

• Itching, bleeding, or other noticeable changes.

These signs may indicate a risk of melanoma, making prompt medical evaluation essential.

Why is mole removal important?

Changes in the appearance of a mole may be an early sign of a malignant process. Timely removal can help prevent the development of skin cancer and other complications.

Removing suspicious skin lesions at an early stage also helps reduce the risk of disease progression and allows for accurate diagnosis when necessary.

Methods of mole removal

At our clinic, we use modern and safe removal techniques, including:

• Laser removal – a quick, bloodless procedure with minimal risk of scarring;

• Radiofrequency surgery (Surgitron) – a precise and minimally invasive method;

• Surgical excision – recommended for large or suspicious moles, with the option of histopathological examination (biopsy);

• Cryodestruction (cryotherapy) – commonly used for the removal of papillomas.

The most suitable treatment method is selected individually after a medical examination.

Contraindications

The procedure may be postponed in the following cases:

• Acute inflammatory conditions;

• Exacerbation of chronic diseases;

• Pregnancy (depending on the physician's assessment);

• Allergy or intolerance to local anesthetics.

How to prepare for the procedure

A few days before the procedure, patients are advised to:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds;

• Do not apply creams or lotions to the treatment area;

• Inform the physician about any medications they are currently taking.

Depending on the type, size, and location of the lesion, the physician selects the most appropriate removal technique, which may include laser therapy, radiofrequency surgery, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, or surgical excision.
