What kind of anesthetic for removal of mole near the vagina?

August 24, 2018
Asked By:Bellaisme in Malaysia, MY

I have a 1 cm mole near my mon pubis area due to be removed. Is it necessary to get a spinal anaesthetic for removal or a local anaestethic will do? The doctor says it may be painful with just a local anaesthetic and is giving me option to do a spinal one. But I'm thinking that's a lot of a risk just for a mole?

My mole regrew on the scar tissue, is this a concern? (Photo)
Reuel Aspacio, MD, FAAD - Account Suspended says:

Thank you for your question and photograph. In my experience, if there are cells left over from the mole after a biopsy, then the mole can return over time, which is to be expected. If you continue to be concerned about the area, then I highly recommend you consult with your dermatologist sooner...

Healing process after mole removal? The scab is starting to fall off but still a pink mark around it.
Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD says:

It takes a scar about a full year to be at its final outcome, so please be patient with your scars.  We recommend a scar cream such as Mederma or Scar Guard after the skin gets a pink new surface.  You should avoid sun and use a good sunscreen also.  If you are still not...
