Moles are collections of pigment producing cells that can be found in the surface of the skin. They are a natural part of skin development and are common occurring even earliest at birth. They can be due to genetics and sun exposure, and while they are generally harmless (benign), some moles are precursors to more skin serious conditions like malignant melanoma. Their appearance and disappearance can also be caused by responses to hormonal changes in puberty, pregnancy, and sometimes hormonal therapy. The typical treatment for this is surgery, where dermatologist cuts out the entire mole and stitches the skin to close it.
Moles are collections of pigment producing cells that can be found in the surface of the skin. Generally, moles are harmless, but they can sometimes be precursors of more serious conditions like skin cancer such as malignant melanoma. For some moles, a laser treatment is used to remove them. This procedure is done by directing the laser to the mole tissue to destroy it and is best applied to moles that are in hard-to-reach areas such as the ears or in areas with most sensitivity like the face. It is good to note however that this procedure can only be used for small, flat, and non-cancerous moles and may require two to three more sessions to see full results.
