I've been self conscious of a small black-dotted mole (sharp tip of a pencil) between my eyebrows. I went to an esthetician for consultation. She recommended electrocautery and that its a minor procedure. She said either there will be no scar or that it will be very minimal. Now I understand that it will not be sent to pathology. I just wanted to know if the procedure will cause bad scarring or anything undesirable. Can anyone give me some sort of advice? Thank you very much.
Dear Space Odyssey, moles on face are removed because of "looks" or because of uncertainty about nature/behavior. Your dermatologist would be best equipped to discuss both issues with you. A punch excision & closure with 1 , or 2 stitchse would give an excellent result, specially in the area between the brows. another option is a laser that targets black/brown color.
I have a lot of moles, but I have a huge mole on my chest and it above the skin its pink and I've had it for like 13 years and I want to know if it is cancer and what I should do???
Most likely this is a benign growth. Your dermatologist can evaluate this by history & clinical examination. A biopsy [ sample] may be needed, if clinically not certain.
I have a mole on my left cheek that is hopefully easily removable. My concern is that there are a few hairs growing out of it that I tweeze. Their growth will probably impede healing, so they would need to be removed. Will they be removed via the mole removal, or do they grow so deeply that a separate procedure is required?
An excision of the mole would definitely remove both the pigment cells & the hairs in the mole. Should you desire just the hair removal, this can be done with a laser device [such as a diode laser].
