A: pain after mole removal

Even after a small surgical procedure such as mole removal, infection may develop. Talk to your doctor about performing a culture of the affected area, prescribing topical antibiotics, or even a course of oral antibiotics. You may also have been allergic to something in the local anesthetic or a dressing used to cover the wound. Again, talking to your doctor would help in identifying the problem.

Should a Mole That Has Mild to Moderate Cells Be Removed or Watched?

Should a Mole That Has Mild to Moderate Cells Be Removed or Watched?

A: Atypical mole treatment

For moles with minimal to moderate atypia, careful clinical observation may be performed. However, whenever  atypia is in the moderate spectrum, excision with sutured reconstruction may offer an excellent cosmetic outcome while giving you the peace of mind that the abnormality is removed completely. Excised specimen should be sent to a dermatopathologist for an evaluation to confirm that the lesion was removed and that no further abnormality, such as melanoma, was present.
