Eliminating skin imperfections that could endanger one’s health is possible through several types of treatment: by means of homemade cures, by surgery or laser therapy. Excision represents the surgical mole remove method; this therapy consists in the cutting of a mole and possibly the area surrounding it, so that there is no chance of the skin tag to regrow. Depending on the skin roots of the mole, the cutting will be more serious or only superficial. Doctors can approximate but not determine exactly the size of the cut, because most of the medical tests identify the size of the nevi, but not their depth. In case stitches will be used, the risk of scarring is a bit higher.

No stitches are necessary for the superficial mole remove; cauterization will nevertheless be used in order to accelerate the healing and stop the bleeding. In this group of interventions, we also ought to mention shaving, that means removing a mole that is just slightly attached to the skin. The procedure is very simple and little traumatic for the tissues, but it has the disadvantage that it may leave mole cells behind that could cause a regrowth. Therefore, the doctor has to weigh the pros and cons of shaving the moles or turn to some other form of procedure.

Laser treatments for mole remove purposes represent a modern less invasive alternative to surgery. The use of the light beam is ideal for flat small moles, but less recommendable for larger raised ones. The light cannot get through the tissues and destroy the mole root especially if it is very large. Thus, your dermatologist could either advise the use of several treatment sessions, or recommend another form of treatment, like surgery for instance. Therefore, according to some specialists, the efficiency of laser therapy is not completely proved.

Finally, in case you decide to go for a natural way of mole remove, there are several remedies available in the household. pineapple juice, cauliflower, garlic, Castor oil, honey,  and fig stems extract represent cures available with herbalist medicine for centuries now. However, tradition doesn’t make the procedures safe, because the attempts of removing moles at home have often resulted in a deterioration of the health condition and even the appearance of cancer. Such unfortunate cases are explained by the cellular reactions triggered by some natural remedies in malignant moles. Consequently, the medical approach also remains the safest and most serious one.
