The dangers of mole removal

Mole removal is the process of removing moles on the skin through medical equipment and technology, thereby achieving the purpose of beautiful skin.

Generally speaking, the harm of mole removal is not too great, but it still has a certain impact on us. The main harm of mole removal is that it will leave scars or recurrent infection.

The dangers of mole removal are

1. Scarring

Generally speaking, after a mole is removed, the doctor will ask you not to drink beverages with pigments, and it is also not recommended to eat foods containing soy sauce or vinegar. This is because laser mole removal will leave a small pit on the face. If you eat these foods, the color of the laser area will easily become darker, forming a pigmented mole that is larger than the original one.

However, if you insist on not eating anything containing pigments for more than a week after the mole removal, especially soy sauce and vinegar, then the mark will not be very obvious.

2. Relapse

If it is surgically removed, it generally will not recur. However, if it is removed through laser or other methods, it may recur. Normally, laser mole removal requires three to four sessions, with three to four months in between. It is difficult to completely remove the mole in one session.

3. Infection

We cannot touch or scratch our wounds at will to prevent infection. After removing the mole, we should try not to apply cosmetics on the wounds, as this can also easily lead to infection.

The purpose of mole removal is to remove skin pigmentation, so that you can look more beautiful. The methods of mole removal generally include electrocautery, laser mole removal, surgical removal, etc.

Laser mole removal uses laser to instantly release huge energy to act on pigmented tissue, causing the pigment to break up and decompose, be swallowed up by macrophages, and be excreted from the body through lymphatic circulation, thereby achieving the purpose of removing pigment.

Generally speaking, most moles on the face are benign and do not require treatment. However, if the mole is particularly large, or is close to the eye and is likely to affect vision, or if it is suspected to be a malignant lesion, it should be treated as needed.

In traditional Chinese physiognomy, there are many opinions about the location of moles on the face. If the mole is in a good location, it is considered to have a good destiny, but if the mole is in a bad location, it is considered to be a bad omen. Although this saying has no scientific basis, once you hear it, you will definitely take it to heart, so many people want to remove the moles on their faces.

In order for an operation to have a good effect, both the preparation before the operation and the maintenance after the operation are very important. The same is true for laser mole removal treatment. You should pay attention to it both before and after the operation. However, I believe that many people who want to do laser mole removal do not know much about this aspect. Good preparation before and after the operation is very helpful for the effect of laser mole removal.

Treatment methods and pros and cons

1. Use street medicine to remove moles

It contains corrosive sulfuric acid and its derivatives that remove moles by corrosion.

The scar is large and there is no after-sales service or insurance.

Cheap.

Generally, moles are harmless and do not affect your health. Only a very small number of moles that grow on places prone to friction may become cancerous if they are damaged for a long time. If you find that a pigmented mole grows rapidly, the color deepens until it turns black, the edges are irregular, the base is flushed and hard, ulcers and scabs form on the surface of the mole, small satellite dots appear around the mole, the pigment spreads and bleeds easily, or the lymph nodes around the mole are swollen, these are some signs of cancer.

However, having these symptoms does not mean that it will definitely turn into cancer. There is no need to be overly afraid or worried. The important thing is to observe closely, seek medical attention in time, and start treatment as soon as possible. Some young people nowadays randomly remove moles for the sake of having a beautiful face. In particular, they trust those illegal practitioners and fake medicine sellers on the roadside and use their personally prepared medicine to remove moles, which often leads to adverse consequences.

Although some people have their moles removed with chemicals, they are left with scars that are bigger and uglier than the original moles; some others develop ulcers after having their moles removed that take a long time to heal. Because the solutions for mole removal are all made of chemicals, such as strong acids and strong alkalis, when applied to moles, they can have corrosive and citric effects on human skin.

Especially when the cells in the mole are strongly stimulated by corrosive drugs, the changes in their cell pathology can be accelerated, and the chance of transformation into malignant lesions is relatively increased, and it is very likely to actually transform into skin cancer. Therefore, you must not randomly remove moles. If you find any changes in your mole, you can go to the hospital for treatment with laser or cryotherapy.

Melanoma spreads

Some people see small black spots on their faces and think they are moles and want to remove them. In fact, it may be melanoma. Early melanoma only stays in the skin. If the melanoma is treated by mole removal, it will accelerate its spread. If the condition is not treated in time and worsens, it will cause great harm to the body, and treatment will become more troublesome when it reaches the middle and late stages.

Skin pigmentation

Some people, in order to save a little money, do not go to regular beauty salons for mole removal. Some people use mole removal lotions sold on the market at home. These lotions use the corrosion of the skin to remove moles. After using the lotions, the pigmentation of this area will be accelerated. In severe cases, it can cause facial corrosion and disfigurement. You must pay attention to this.

Everyone can understand that they want to be beautiful, but the premise is that they must focus on their physical health, and the same applies to mole removal. Although it may seem like nothing, if you don’t pay attention to the dangers of mole removal, it can easily cause side effects and damage your body. The cost of this kind of beauty change is too high and not worth it. After going to a regular hospital for mole removal, you must do a good job of postoperative work to avoid infection and inflammation of the wound, otherwise you will need to go to the hospital again.

Things to note when removing moles

There are three types of moles:

First, junctional nevus

Located at the junction of the lower epidermis and the dermis, it appears as a clearly defined nest of nevus cells with a flat and smooth or slightly raised and hairless surface.

Second, intradermal nevus

Located in the dermis, the surface is smooth or has no wart-like protrusions, is dark brown, and often has hair growth.

The third is mixed mole

Compound nevus is a combination of junctional nevus and intradermal nevus. Slightly raised, smooth surface, with or without hair, and darker pigmentation. If junctional nevus is frequently rubbed and cijied, it may become malignant. Depending on the location and size of the junctional nevus, it is best to choose laser or surgical removal. If you find a black mole that is a papule-like protrusion that becomes darker in color, has a scab on the surface, or even bleeds or ulcers, you should immediately undergo surgery to remove it to avoid malignant transformation.

Preparations before mole removal:

Most moles can be removed, but if removed improperly, they can become noticeable scars. When removing moles, you should also pay attention to moles in key areas such as the eyelids and nose. Eyelids are more difficult to sew up, and moles on the nose are more difficult to repair, and skin grafts or skin flap transfers are required.

Before removing a mole, you cannot apply any skin care products or cosmetics. These operations require anesthesia. After laser surgery, you must do a good job of sun protection. Follow the doctor's instructions to apply antibiotic ointment or apply artificial skin before the wound scabs and falls off to ensure the best results. After the stitches are removed after excision surgery, a cosmetic patch should be applied for 3 to 6 months.

What to pay attention to after mole removal:

Many people do not know much about the precautions for skin care after mole removal or freckle removal. Sometimes, due to negligence, the results of mole removal are very different from what they expect, and may even cause inflammation and melanin production, making the mole larger and more obvious.

1. Keep the treated area as dry as possible for one week after removing moles or spots. Dry it gently with a clean towel as soon as possible after washing or contact with water.

2. After treating moles and spots, the treated area should be kept away from sunlight to prevent sunburn and pigmentation. Especially within 20 days after the scabs fall off, special attention should be paid to sun protection.

3. Pay attention to your diet and try to eat less sour and spicy foods, seafood, beef, mutton and other foods. Eat more foods containing vitamin C. You can also supplement vitamin C and vitamin E and take them according to the instructions.

4. Please do not scratch at will to avoid infection, which may lead to scars or pigmentation.

Complete guide to mole removal

Honey: Honey has amazing antiseptic and therapeutic properties. Applying honey to moles is safe and natural, just as safe as miraculous. Of course, you can also add a drop or two of warm and smooth linseed oil.

Apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is a very common ingredient in home remedies and is also one of the most common methods for removing moles. The acids in vinegar, such as malic and tartaric acid, are extremely effective in removing moles and can often completely remove moles from the skin. Just apply a little on your skin with a cotton swab every day

Garlic: Garlic can also have many uses, and many people say that garlic can remove moles. Just mash fresh garlic and apply it directly on the mole, but avoid the surrounding skin because garlic has citric properties. Cover the area where you applied the garlic with a bandage for a few hours or overnight. It is said that this method can remove the mole in just five days.

Iodine: Iodine is suitable for sensitive skin because it does not ciji the skin like garlic or apple cider vinegar. Dip a cotton swab in iodine and apply it directly to the mole three times a day. If you keep doing this, the mole will gradually fade.

Sour apple juice: Juice a few cooking apples and apply the juice directly to the mole. Like apple cider vinegar, the acid in apple juice can dissolve moles, but it may take at least three weeks before you see any signs of the mole disappearing.

Pineapple and sea salt: You can apply pineapple juice directly to the mole, but a scrub made from half a cup of pineapple juice and a quarter cup of sea salt is more effective. This scrub can remove the top layer of skin from the mole.

Castor oil and baking soda: Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with two tablespoons of castor oil into a paste, apply it on the mole, and wash it off after a few hours or overnight.
