Why You Might Want to Have a Mole on Your Neck Removed
Moles on the neck can be more than just a cosmetic concern. Because the neck frequently experiences constant movement, raised moles can become irritated by shirt collars, shaving, jewelry, and other everyday routines and activities. A mole that often catches on clothing or rubs against accessories can start to become uncomfortable and could possibly bleed due to the friction. Visible moles on the neck can also affect your confidence, especially when wearing shirts like V-necks, dresses, or other types of clothing that expose the neck. Professional mole removal for the neck can help address all of these concerns, while taking the health and appearance of your skin into account. Before getting a mole removed, it’s important to have the lesion evaluated by a qualified medical professional, especially if you have noticed any recent changes in the mole’s size, shape, or color. Although most moles are benign, certain changes in the lesion can indicate that something more serious is present, like melanoma which is a type of skin cancer. These changes should not be ignored. A professional consultation can help determine whether removal is appropriate and if our treatment method is right for you. During your consultation, patients meet directly with the doctor that is overseeing the procedure, giving you the opportunity to discuss your goals, talk about any questions or concerns you may have, and review what will happen during the procedure.
How Our Neck Mole Removal Procedure Works
At Mole Removal Orange County, we offer radio frequency ablation to remove moles and skin tags, using specialized technology to remove the skin lesion from the root. Our doctors will determine if this treatment method is right for you, as treatment depends on if your mole is cancerous or not. If our doctors think the mole looks suspicious and needs to be further evaluated, they will recommend that you get the lesion examined by a dermatologist or your primary care physician before getting it removed by our office. The procedure is typically quick and painless, as we use a local anesthetic on the mole to prevent you from feeling any pain during the procedure. After the local anesthetic has been applied and the area is numb, we can begin the removal process. The doctor will remove the mole, layer by layer, using our radio frequency ablation machine, ensuring that there is minimal to no damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. Most procedures take between 20-30 minutes, but it can be longer depending on the size, location, severity, and how many moles you would like to get removed in one session. After your procedure is done, you will have time with the doctor to go over any questions, concerns, and aftercare instructions. We will also give you a printed copy of the aftercare instructions on your way out, as well as two ointments that are designed to help with the healing of the wound.
