The skin tag (mole) treatment can be performed because the moles on the skin carry the risk of skin cancer or when it disturbs the person aesthetically. Within the scope of mole treatment, there are different methods that can be preferred to remove moles on the skin. The method to be preferred within the scope of mole treatment is determined as a result of the joint decision of the physician and the patient.
WHAT IS SKIN TAG ?
Moles (skin tags) are formations that occur with the combination of melanocyte cells. Moles can occur in many parts of the body. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes. Melanin is a substance found in our body and gives color to the skin. It is not known why melanocyte cells clump together and form moles. Moles can occur anywhere on the body.
Moles are generally seen as a condition that does not disturb. Moles, especially on the limbs of the person, such as hands and arms, can cause a risk of discomfort due to reasons such as tripping. However, it should not be thought that all ego formations are harmless. Some moles pose a cancer risk. Therefore, unsymmetrical, recently darkened or rapidly growing moles should be considered as risk factors and a dermatologist should be consulted immediately.
TYPES OF SKIN TAGS
There are many types of moles. Therefore, there are many different medical classifications. What type of mole is, whether it is dangerous, how it can be followed, and if necessary, with which method it can be treated, skin diseases, namely dermatology doctors, are in charge.
The most common classification of moles is based on their location within the layers of the skin. This also affects the form of treatment. In the early stage, moles are located between the epidermis, which is the upper layer of the skin, and the dermis, which is the middle layer, this type of mole is called "junctional nevus". They are flush with the skin, flat, smooth, darker than the skin. Junctional melanocytic nevus is the most common type. They are small formations that we call typical me that almost everyone has.
If moles develop, they grow towards the dermis, which is the middle layer of the skin, and these are called "compound nevi". If they are located only in the middle layer of the skin, they are called "dermal nevi". Compound and dermal nevi are thicker, palpable, and usually raised skin lesions.
HOW SKIN TAGS ARE REMOVED ?
There are different methods that can be preferred for the removal process. While mole treatment can be performed with surgery, non-surgical mole removal can also be performed with technologies such as laser and radio frequency. In the case of surgical removal of the mole, non-surgical technological methods are generally preferred because there are small stitches on the skin of the person. In addition, it should be said that non-surgical mole treatments are generally preferred for benign moles.
Mole Removal Surgery
Benign removal surgery is a surgical operation performed under local anesthesia. The steps of the removal surgery are as follows:
-
First of all, local anesthesia is applied to the patient in order not to feel pain and pain during the operation. Small needles are used for anesthesia and anesthesia is applied both around and under the mole. In this way, a comfortable operation process is provided for the patient.
-
After the anesthesia shows its effect, the incision is opened with a surgical operation and the mole is removed as a full layer.
-
After the mole and the subcutaneous fat tissue are completely removed, the area is closed with stitches.
The mole removal surgery is an operation that takes approximately 25 – 30 minutes. A minimal scar remains after a successful mole removal surgery. This scar is usually a few millimeters larger than the size of the mole. Finally, it should be emphasized that if a suspicious situation is observed in the mole of the person, pathological examination is performed.
Non-surgical mole removal treatments are frequently preferred because there are no incision scars and short-term operations. All of these methods are carried out with high technology. The most frequently preferred methods within the scope of non-surgical mole removal methods are:
-
Laser Molle Removal Treatment
-
Radio Frequency Implant Removal Treatment
