Safety first: every mole is checked by a doctor

Before any removal, your doctor examines each mole and asks how long you havehad it and whether it has changed. Most moles are harmless and can be removedfor cosmetic or comfort reasons. If a mole looks unusual – for example it haschanged in size, shape or colour, has an irregular edge, bleeds or itches –we will not burn it away. Instead it is cut out and stitched so it can besent to a laboratory for testing, or we advise you to see your GP for anurgent NHS referral.

How we remove moles, skin tags, warts and milia

Your doctor chooses the method that suits the lesion and gives the bestcosmetic result:

• Hyfrecation (radiofrequency): a fine probe uses a low electrical current togently remove small, harmless lesions such as skin tags, small flat moles,warts and milia. No stitches and usually only a small scab that heals within1–2 weeks. Because the lesion is removed by heat, there is no tissue left tosend to a laboratory, so this method is only used for lesions the doctor isconfident are harmless.

• Shave removal: a raised mole is shaved level with the skin under localanaesthetic. No stitches, and it usually leaves a small flat mark that fadesover time.

• Excision (cut and stitch): the mole is fully cut out under localanaesthetic and the skin is closed with fine stitches. This is used when amole needs laboratory testing (histology), or when it sits deeper in theskin. The removed tissue is sent to a laboratory and your doctor discussesthe result with you.
