Mole Removal

Laser Hair Removal

Botox

Mirvaso

The fact that it has regrown is not concerning--the fact that the original mole was thrown away IS concerning! Often moles will re-grow if any cell is left behind. The dermatologist will see no pigment left behind after the removal and hope that the mole is completely removed. Later, the mole regrows, meaning the derm did in fact leave a little of the mole behind. We assume that this re-growing mole would be no more dangerous than the original...but your original was never tested. I would go and have it removed again (and sent into the pathologist). The pathologist will have a harder time now reading the pathology this time, as moles recurring in a scar are harder to decipher from melanoma. They ofter rely on the original mole for comparison (which you don't have). Regardless, a skilled derm/pathologist will put your mind at ease.

I had a raised mole on my neck removed about 10 years ago due to sensitivity and bleeding. It was shaved off and no pigmentation was left behind. The doctor didn't send it off for pathology (I know this because I worked for her). I noticed today that it is growing back. It is brown in color, slightly raised, and it's within the very faint scar that was left behind. Should I be concerned?

Should I be concerned about a mole growing back after removal 10 years ago, that was never sent off for pathology?

Mirvaso works by constricting ( making smaller) blood vessels right under the skin's surface that contribute to the redness of Rosacea. The redness of Eczema and scars are not caused by blood vessels, so Mirvaso will not help.

Like redness from a hypertrophic scar or eczema?

Does Mirvaso work for ALL types of redness?

Dermatology

Depending on your hair type ( color, coarseness) and the color of your skin, laser hair removal could reduce, if not permanently remove, your unwanted hair--laser hair removal takes several sessions. Electrolysis is another option for small areas like the ears.&nbsp;

is there any method by which i can get rid of them permanently ? please suggest

I'm 22 and have lot of hair growing on my ears. I use a trimmer to get rid of them. How can I get rid of it permanently?

Shave removal would leave a flat, round scar that would look similar to other scars on your body. However, this technique would likely leave some mole cells behind (cells under the removed lesion that are deeper in the skin). These cells may eventually regrow and make a bump again but not as large as the original mole. This technique also does not remove any coarse hairs that may be growing in the mole. The other option is to perform a punch removal or excision of the entire lesion (even the deeper cells and any hairs growing in the mole) --this technique ensures complete removal but leaves a linear scar behind and requires sutures. In this area, shave removal would be the best cosmetic option--it could always be re-shaved if anything grew back. Hope this helps!

I have had the mole since childhood. I don't mind the pigment, but as an adult, it has become more raised, which bothers me. What method of removal has the least risk of scarring? (Also, I am half Asian.) I was told CO2 laser by one dermatologist (who doesn't have that laser), but when I followed his referral, that dermatologist told me that it isn't an option. Any San Francisco referrals would be appreciated.

This is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and will likely resolve over weeks to months. A dermatologist may prescribe a topical cream that will help the brown areas resolve faster-- but there will still be a waiting period before your legs look back to normal. Try to baby your skin-- gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and no sun!

Used Silk n Flash &amp; Go on lower legs. I had sun exposure a few days ago but decided to go for it anyway (impatience &amp; vanity! Ugh) figuring if my skin was too tan the safety feature wouldn't allow the device to work. My legs were fine but after 5/10 min they began to burn &amp; red splotches appeared. They stopped burning after an hour but still have red spots. There has been no swelling/blistering. Are they simply minor burns or have I done permanent damage by causing hypo or hyper pigmentation?

If this is hypopigmentation, is it permanent? How long before it will fade back to normal? (photo)

Dermatologists will frequently use special scopes or magnifiers in their office to evaluate a mole more carefully-- if it looks suspicious a biopsy may be preformed-- this is the only way to truly know.

I have been checking it regularly. Annoying my boyfriend this past year. He says it hasn't changed but my paranoia gets the best of me. It has stayed relatively the same size. (Again my paranoia makes me question if it has gotten larger or not) its on the middle of my back where it gets regularly exposed to the sun. It's the size of a pencil eraser, maybe a tad smaller.

Malignant Melanoma or Dyplastic Nevi? (photo)

I agree with the other physicians--a trained dermatologist of plastic surgeon can easily remove the lesion for you. Good luck!

I have spoken to my local doctor who advised it is too risky, i value any suggestions?

After pinpointing bleeding has stopped and you have performed any icing, etc. that your physician has requested, you can reapply moisturizer and/or makeup. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Can U Wear Any Kind of Moisturizer or Face Cream the Day After U Had the Botox Treatment?
