I have a round dark flat mole right on my lip. What are my options of removing with minimal scar. How much would this cost?
Even though you may think the mole is benign, it's always best to have something like this removed as a small shave biopsy - no stitches or anything - and have it sent to a lab for review. Using a laser, while in theory can result in a cleaner removal, you never have the ability to have the spot reviewed for possible pre-cancer or other abnormalities. Particularly when moles are dark and near the lips, nose, ears, hands, and toes, you need to have them sent to lab. A shave biopsy should cost a few hundred dollars at most, and having the assurance that nothing was wrong with the site will be worth it.
Hello, About three months ago I had a couple moles removed from my stomach via the shaving method (i.e., no stitches). I'm hoping to minimize the current redness as best as possible before summer comes and I'm at the beach. I'm guessing it's too soon to resort to excising the scars, so I'm wondering what some good workarounds might be (laser treatment/s?). I'll be visiting my dermatologist for an opinion, but I'm interested in your thoughts, too. Thanks,
A few flashes of IPL or Laser Genesis can be done after moles have been removed and there is light redness left. I do this on many, many patients after removals and it helps even out the skin tone, as well as soften any scarring that exists.
My brother recently informed me he developed a new tiny mole (the size of a sesame seed) 1 month ago and he is wondering if it looks like melanoma or dysplastic nevus. He's Italian (dark hair dark eyes), 28 years old, and spent a few years using the tanning bed and natural sun. This new mole is located on his stomach and is asymmetric with a darker color in the middle.No one is this family developed melanoma except our great aunt. It looks big in the pic, but it is only a tiny seed size, like I s
It's nearly impossible to tell from a photo, so your best and safest bet is to see a dermatologist for a biopsy of the site and move on from there. It will be better than any of us guessing what it is or might be. It does show signs that are atypical, but who knows, only a biopsy can confirm it. Schedule an appointment soon.
