Question: How do you remove moles?
Answer:
Moles are removed in a doctor’s office using several techniques, including cutting, freezing and burning. Some of these procedures can be a bit painful, which is why your doctor may numb the area before beginning the procedure.
The cutting or “shaving off” technique involves using a scalpel or scissor to remove the mole. If your mole has cells below the skin, your doctor may make a deeper cut to ensure the entire mole is removed. Freezing off your mole involves applying a small amount of liquid nitrogen to the area, while the technique of burning off your mole involves using an electrical current to heat up a wire that then burns off the top layers of the mole until it falls off.
