Mole Removal Scar
Moles appear throughout our entire lives without an apparent reason other than genetic predisposition and sun exposure. In time some moles aggravate, changing color and size, while other remain unmodified and totally harmless. The most common procedure is excision and even if it involves a high degree of safety, it is not free of all inconveniences: it can cause scarring. There is not a big drama in scarring as such, since the mark can be only temporary and heal well in time, but the complete recovery depends on many factors.
The size, the depth of the mole and the type of dermatological procedure influence of the appearance and the look of the mole removal scar. Deep cuts that require stitches will usually leave scars behind, as compared to other superficial interventions. Laser treatments are also known to produced quite a lot of scarring because of the direct action of the light on the cellular structure that performs the evaporation of the tissues. Probably the intervention most likely to leave your skin free of any mole removal scar is shaving. Applicable only for certain types of moles, shaving will simply cut the portion protruding above the skin.
The only problem with shaving is that some mole cells remain behind and proliferate again, leading to regrowth. Therefore, expert medical diagnosis is the only one that can determine treatment. Plus, the analysis and diagnosis make it possible to anticipate the mole removal scar size so that the person who needs the intervention should be aware of the healing process and the consequences. This special observation should ring an alarm bell to people who choose surgery just because they consider moles unaesthetic.
There are ways to reduce a mole removal scar and they usually involve further surgery or the use of natural remedies meant to stimulate tissue regrowth right after the wound has completely healed. The anti-scar treatment or prevention ought to start as early as possible after surgery. Moreover, another way to reduce to reduce the risk of a mole removal scar becoming permanent is by keeping infections away. You’ll have to use a topical antibiotic in order to prevent germs from proliferating in the open wound.
