Removal of the moles

The removal of the moles represents the last step of a process that begins with the identification of some alarm bells. Given that a mole needs to be evaluated by a dermatologist, there are some signs that need to be taken into account:

  • Color change
  • Pain or itching
  • Uneven margins
  • Ulceration and bleeding of the mole

For the main pathologies of the skin tissue, the surgeon gives directions for removal. In the case of moles, the decision is up to the dermatologist.

The operation is carried out on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. The surgeon will have to remove the mole radically. This means resecting a section of skin that includes both the mole and the subcutaneous tissue. Subsequently, the cutaneous section removed is examined histologically, in order to define its characteristics.

Skin biopsy

Skin biopsy is a diagnostic surgical method of great importance. The process consists in the removal of a skin lesion, integral or partial, under local anesthesia. The goal is to obtain a sample to be subjected to histological examination, in order to reach a histopathological diagnosis.
