How Can A Mole Be Removed From The Skin?

Posted on Thu, 4 Oct 2012

Question: how to remove a mole from skin ????

Answered by Dr. Praveen Rodrigues (13 minutes later)

Hi there XXXXXXX
It all depends on what 'type' of mole & what 'cosmetic effect' is desired & the location 'site' of the mole.
But as a rule, i would prefer an 'Exciscion biopsy' lesional followed by subcutaneous or steristrip closure depending on the site.
Trust this answers your query.
