Do you get put to sleep when you get a mole removed ?

Your surgeon will know best about aftercare after the procedure. In my practice, I ask patients to use Plato's Scar Serum twice daily once the skin is healed over. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Superficial biopsies have a finite risk of mole recurrence. If you are concerned about the mole coming back, it may be a good idea to have it recut. Best. Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Moles can traumatize kids very easily when their classmates tease or make fun of them. The sooner you get it removed, the less potential problems your daughter may have.

Moles on non sun-exposed areas need to be evaluated. I perform mole removals and surgical biopsies on all parts of the body. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Most of these are cosmetic moles that can be addressed with non-surgical means including laser or hyfrecation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

There may be an internal suture, an infection, or the signs of early inflammation. Your symptoms prompt an immediate answer. See if your dermatologist has a referral to evaluate the problem. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
