Types of Moles

• Congenital naevus: Moles that are present at birth.
• Atypical or dysplastic naevus: These moles are unusual in appearance and benign. Moreover, these may look similar to melanomas.
• Junctional melanocytic naevus: Round, flat and brown.
• Dermal melanocytic naevus: Raised, hairy in some cases, pale or light brown.
• Halo naevus: Skin in the area surrounding the mole loses pigmentation, thus forming a halo. Once the mole fades away, the skin regains its colour.

Treatments of Moles

Moles are usually asymptomatic and do not cause much trouble but cosmetically or aesthetically it may disturb the face or a particular body part. Sometimes, a mole is itchy, burns, is painful, bleeds or oozes, and is crusty or scaly. Moreover, it can also suddenly change in colour, elevation, size, or shape. Therefore, in such cases, one must consult a doctor immediately.

There are several modalities to treat moles. They are as follows:

1. • Shave excision: In this treatment, the mole is cut off from the body using a small blade. Moreover, dermatologists carry out this process under the effects of local anesthesia. In this method, stitches are usually not necessary.
   • Excisional surgery or excision biopsy: In this treatment, the mole and the surrounding margin of healthy skin are cut out using a scalpel or a punch device. In the case of larger moles, sutures are necessary.
   • Radiofrequency: In this treatment, the mole is removed layer by layer with an electric current applied by a device with a metal tip. By this method, any hair growing on the mole can be removed too.
   • Laser: In this treatment, a high-intensity beam of light is used to reduce the pigmentation and another technique helps to get rid of any hair present on the mole too. Lasers like QS NdYAG, CO2 laser, and diode are used in the treatment of mole depending on the type, size, and depth of mole.
