Mole also known as nevi is a growth that appears on the skin’s surface in any shape and is considered harmless. It forms when the melanocytes (color-producing skin cells) grow together in clusters and may appear in any part of your body. They are usually brown, black, and even blue with varying sizes. They appear at any time of your life and can affect your beautiful appearance if not in the right place. That is why they need to be removed safely and effectively.

Types of Moles
Three main types of moles are classified based on color, size, shape, and location.
Congenital Nevi
- Light brown to black with well-defined edges.
- May become raised and dark with time.
- Diameter ranges from 1.5 to more than 40 cm.
- Larger size indicates melanoma(skin cancer).
- They appear at birth.
Common Acquired Nevi
- Light brown to dark brown with well-defined edges.
- Appear as raised or dome-shaped on the skin’s surface.
- Diameter varies from 2-6 mm.
- Round or oval shaped.

Dysplastic Nevi

Diagnosis
Although most of the moles are harmless and only appear as a barrier to your confidence and beauty. But, in some cases, they can lead to skin cancer, if not diagnosed and treated on time. Keep in mind not every mole is harmful, so there is no need to panic. However, scientists have developed an A, B, C, D, and E diagnosis method for moles to separate normal moles from cancerous ones where
- A is for asymmetry(shape) of the mole
- B is for border(corners) of the mole
- C is for color
- D is for diameter
- E is for evolving(changing) appearance
If the mole appears doubtful and you cannot diagnose its type, it will be wise to visit your doctor and get it diagnosed before time.

Mole Removal Techniques

Also, avoid mole removal at home or buy any private mole removal creams, as these have been reported to cause severe burns and skin injuries.
Mole Excision
It is a famous surgical technique where your surgeon cuts the mole with the help of a scalpel.

Cryotherapy
It is one of the surgical options for mole removal. To perform this, the doctor will use a cotton swab, spray device, or injection to apply a unique solution to the skin. This solution often contains usually argon gas or liquid nitrogen. By doing so, ice crystals form in the mole, thereby breaking up the mole tissue cells. The surrounding area of skin remains safe during this process. After completing the treatment successfully, the mole gets removed, and no trace (scarring) leaves behind.
Laser Treatment
Some moles are small, flat, and have a dark color such as black or dark brown. Such kinds of moles can best be removed using laser treatment for mole removal. Typically, the professional will apply a topical anesthetic ointment to number the treatment site. The area will then be exposed to beams of laser light to remove the mole tissues.
