Mole Removal & Wart Removal (cosmetic surgery)
Most moles are harmless, but certain moles should be examined and removed if malignancy is suspected as they can be life threatening. The ones to watch closely and to show your doctor are those which change in any way - in size, shape or colour, or any mole that itches, bleeds or hurts. Any change in a mole or any new mole which appears to be growing may be a sign of malignancy. In the Australian climate moles are very common. If some moles may be of concern and should they require excision (cutting out) are then sent to pathology for diagnosis. Many moles, however, are not of any medical concern but rather are a cosmetic concern. These moles are usually raised, leading to a contour deformity as well as possibly being pigmented.
Warts are rough patches of skin that are usually caused by viral infection. Most warts can be treated with Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen causing little pain, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself.If it is not removed then It is possible to treat the warts using the same techiques enployed for the removal of moles.
Moles( and warts) are removed under local anaesthetic in the doctor’s rooms, without stitches or blood loss. In the process the doctor uses a Radio Surgitron machine. Much like Laser Surgery, removal can be done with minimal bleeding. In this treatment the whole mole is not removed, rather it is shaved off flat with the skin. This removes the contour deformity and usually all of the pigment. Because the skin is not cut through full thickness there is no need for stitches. The skin is given the chance to heal with minimal to no scarring.
