Remove Mole by Electrosurgery

It's generally without medical consequence, but you can remove mole for cosmetic reasons or otherwise. It is usually round or oval, and not very large. Most babies are born with moles, and almost all have at least one or two on their bodies. A large number can concentrate on the chest back and arms.

What is Electrosurgery?

Electrosurgery is commonly used to cut or excise tissues in the removal of benign of malignant lessions without too much bleeding. It is very simple to perform especially in the treatment of number of skin lesions such as tiny superficial lesions - small angiomas and skin tags. It also has many applications in cutaneous surgery:

a) techniques for the incision that produce full-thickness excision of growth on your skin,

b) shave techniques that produce partial thickness removal of superficial lesions such as warts, without the need for suture removal,

c) vascular lesions that include acquired lesions i.e., pyogenic granuloma, and those that are present at birth or arise shortly after birth. Vascular birthmarks include vascular tumors, and vascular malformations. Vascular malformations are congenital, life-long, localized defects in the skin and subcutaneous tissues.

Electrosurgery is also used to treat cervical dysplasia using the technique of loop excision of the transformation zone of the cervix. The same equipment and procedure are used in skin surgery. Practitioners do this technique with less bleeding or no blood at all.

Mole removal procedures begin by disinfecting the area to be treated with the application of local anesthetic. Heated needle or blade is then applied to the skin mole. Mole skin is burned, and then removed by the doctor. The sample can be sent to the laboratory pathologist for further examination. Please go and see your doctor.
