There are various methods for removing moles, but in the case of clearly benign tumors, i.e. nevus cell nevus, we will remove them without excision. For moles on the body, i.e. benign skin tumors, if a dermascope can be used to confirm the diagnosis, there is no need to perform a pathology test, but if the diagnosis is inconclusive, a pathology test will be used to confirm the diagnosis. In the case of a pathology test, a part of the tumor is removed, called a biopsy, and the collected sample is sent to a testing center for a pathology tissue test, and the results are waited for one week later. Alternatively, the mole can be completely removed by excision surgery and a pathology tissue test is performed. In the case of excision, a small scar will remain, so in the case of moles that are definitely benign and can be easily removed, i.e. nevus cell nevus, excision is not performed, and instead laser or electrolysis evaporation is performed. After anesthesia, the pigment mass, nevus cell nevus, is evaporated with thermal energy, leaving a scar like an abrasion. Antibiotics and steroid ointment are applied to the scar immediately after the procedure. After that, a medical wound dressing is applied to perform moist wound healing, and the treatment is completed. In principle, moles on the body are not for cosmetic purposes, so skin tumor removal surgery may be covered by insurance. Please feel free to contact us.
