Moles are common, pigmented skin growths that can be round, oval, flat, or raised, and typically range in color from brown to dark blue or black. While most moles are benign, monitoring changes is crucial as certain characteristics can signal a potential risk of skin cancer (melanoma).
At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, Jamshedpur, we offer specialized care for mole concerns, combining expert dermatological evaluation with effective, aesthetically-focused removal techniques for both cosmetic reasons and atypical/suspicious growths.
Moles develop due to a combination of genetic factors (running in families) and environmental factors, primarily increased time spent in the sun since childhood.
Consult a dermatologist if you observe: Growth of an existing mole, a ragged/uneven edge, varying shades of color, bleeding/oozing/crusting, or a mole that is painful or itches.
Uses radio-frequency instruments to burn the moles away. It is Dr. Kumar’s preferred method due to its better precision and control, and it is generally more affordable.
Removes moles with high-powered laser beams, essentially vaporizing them.
A definitive surgical procedure where the mole is cut out with a margin, and the site is stitched closed.
Suspicious moles removed via surgical excision are sent to the lab to check for malignancy (cancer cells).
