At times people need to remove the moles and skin tags for cosmetic reasons. Though they mostly do not require treatment but discomfort due to rubbing against cloth or while wearing jewelry can make people ask the doctor for a solution. It is necessary to visit doctors for the same when one observes any kind of difference in moles. In such a case a biopsy of the mole might be required that is removal of the mole and getting it tested for cancer.
Doctors can use different ways to remove the mole or skin tag like cutting it off using a scalpel or surgical scissors. Shaving also works for some moles whereas some may require the doctor to make a deeper cut to remove the complete mole. And many doctors are also recommending to buy Skincell Pro or similar serums that help remove these tags altogether. This will also prevent it from growing back and will require stitches in case of cutting.
Sometimes electric current is used by the doctor to burn the mole through a hot wire which burns the upper layers of the skin. This might require more than 1 seating. The skin tags are burnt through the narrow stem attached to the skins to get removed. The heat is used to prevent any bleeding. The area is numbed by the doctor using an anesthetic but the procedure might hurt a little to some people. Bandages are applied later leaving no scars or marks after.
Doctors may advise one to freeze the mole using liquid nitrogen. The doctor will swab or spray a small amount of super-cold liquid nitrogen on the mole or skin tag which will create a small blister but will heal on its own in a short time.
There are home remedies too to remove the moles and skin tags like using nail clippers to cut off skin tags. Lotions and pastes can also be used for the removal which may cause bleeding, infection, and scarring. Make sure you check with the doctor before carrying out any procedure over the moles. Doctor will advise the right and safe solution.
