The mole that is excised may be sent for analysis to exclude any changes in the mole. The procedure usually takes about 30-45 minutes to perform. Sutures or stitches are usually used to close the wound after the mole has been removed. A dressing is applied for around a week following your procedure. The stitches are removed between 1-2 weeks afterwards.
Most moles are benign or non-cancerous. If you have a longstanding mole that has not changed then the likelihood is that your mole is benign. To help identify if a mole is dangerous there are certain features to look out for and these include:
Size
If a mole is more than 5mm in size or if it has grown in size
Shape
If the mole is irregular
Border
If there are irregular borders
Colour
If there has been a change in colour or if the mole has variation in colour within it
Bleeding
If there has been bleeding without injury
Itching
If a mole has developed itchiness
If your moles has any of these features you should arrange a consultation for assessment of the mole.
