All the way since ancient Greece have moles been regarded as something bad and unsightly, and it is no different today.

1. Even if you think you know the patient with the mole you might still miss that he is feeling bad about it.


2. Sometimes the patient might think it is being ignored.


3. People with moles sometimes might feel exaggerated pressure from them.


4. People might avoid activities where the mole is exposed thanks to moles.


5. Always give emotional support to the patient best you can.

Sometimes moles can rub against zippers and cause pain that way.


My buddy Andrea developed a mole on her chest. She got all the negatives:

• It rubbed painfully against her bra.
• It looked like a third nipple
• it kept getting caught in zippers.

Another thing that is ofter forgotten and replaced with the cosmetic aspect is the fact that moles can sometimes develop into really dangerous skin diseases like melanomas. So if you can not keep an eye on your moles daily it is best to remove them.

It might seem unfair to get a mole in an embarrasing spot, we can console ourelves with the fact that it is for the most part very very easy to get rid of an annoying mole.


All methods yields slightly different results so research them all and find out which of them are most suitable for your personal needs.





Scalpel Excision
This type of procedure is performed on small moles that have well defined borders and color and have been deemed to be safe and non cancerous by medical personnel. It consists of the doctor removing the mole and base with a scalpel after numbing the area by injecting an anesthetic and cleaning the area with a antibacterial solution. When the skin tag is gone the rest of the procedure varies. Depending on the size of the wound the options are to simply let it heal with a bandage or sew it close. Stitches can sometimes be non permanent that dissolve and do not require a return visit to remove. The mole may be sent to a lab if necessary to check for malignancy. This procedure can be carried out in a local doctors office unless the mole is uncommon or situated in a sensitive area or an area prone to scarring. It is a good and cost effective method that carries some risk of scarring.



Shaving
A shaving procedure cuts away the top layer of the mole in a similar fashion to shaving with a razor. It can be beneficial since it heals much faster than a base excision and requires no stitches at all. As in the methods above the doctor will clean and numb the mole before the procedure. This procedure is cost effective. It can leave some darker skin since the base of the mole is still remaining in your skin. The procedure is quick and can be used to take samples from the mole to check for cancers.



Laser Mole Removal
This is method that costs more than the other methods, but is preferred due to the fact it runs a smaller risk of scarring or infection. It uses a laser to cut instead of scalpel, which means cleaner cuts.


Home Treatment
There are lots of different treatments you can use at home. They range from very effective to noneffective. The home treatment methods are best used on smaller moles.

In ancient times some might have seen skin moles as a sign of beauty, but these days almost no one wants to suffer from blemishes on their faces or bodies.



Workmates will often enough miss how emotionally distressing a blemish in the wrong place can be for some people. Even a normally very self confident person can get unlucky and end up with a ugly mole on their nose and lose all their confidence seemingly overnight. In some cases this can turn people from outgoing, social and fun to be around to total shut ins. The same can apply with moles on the back and chest an swimming.

Sometimes moles can rub against clothes and cause pain that way.

My buddy Andrea developed a mole on her chest. She was unlucky enough to get all the negatives:

• It rubbed painfully against her bra.
• It looked like a third nipple
• it kept getting caught in zippers.

But the truly dangerous aspect is that a mole carries a risk of developing into cancer, a melanoma. It can be very hard to distinguish some types of moles from melanomas and sometimes a mole sufferer might overlook something important and dangerous thinking that it is just another mole.

Luckily for all mole sufferers we have a bunch of good methods of removing blemishes wherever they might pop up so do not despair and lose hope.

Scalpel Excision
is performed on small moles that are well defined on the skin and have been deemed to be safe and non cancerous by medical personnel. The doctor will start the treatment by washing the area clean with alcohol or something similar to kill bacteria and then apply anesthesia, and then remove the skin tag and its base with a scalpel. When the skin tag is gone the rest of the procedure varies. Depending on the size of the wound the options are to simply let it heal with a bandage or sew it close. Stitches can sometimes be non permanent that dissolve and do not require a return visit to remove. The mole may be sent to a lab if necessary to check for malignancy. This procedure can be carried out in a outpatient clinic unless the mole is uncommon or situated in a sensitive area or an area prone to scarring.
