What is a Mole? A common mole is a coloured spot on the skin that develops when pigment cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters. The medical term for moles is melanocytic naevi and most adults usually have between 10 and 40 on their body. Although common moles may be present at birth, they usually appear later in childhood and increase during teenage years. During pregnancy moles often get darker and they can fade away completely from around the age of 50. Cosmetic mole removal: For those who want a mole, cyst or other lesion removed, we offer treatment by top consultant dermatologists, surgeons and doctor to ensure the best cosmetic outcome. The consultant will diagnose your mole to ensure biopsy is not necessary, discuss the recommended procedure and costs, recovery, likely outcomes, risks and complications, to meet your expectations. If you decide to go ahead with the mole removal procedure, this can usually take place immediately. The consultation and procedure normally take around 30 minutes in total. Mole removal methods: LASER REMOVAL – If your mole is small, you can have it removed with laser treatment. The laser uses light energy to break down the pigment within the mole. Laser mole removal is a good option for removing a mole from the face as there is less risk of scarring. SHAVE REMOVAL – Moles that protrude from the skin can be ‘shaved’ off under local anaesthetic (which numbs the area being treated). This is usually done using a scalpel, and is a relatively straightforward and painless. You may be left with a pink mark on your skin where the mole was, but this should fade over time. EXCISION REMOVAL – Some moles may need to be cut away via an excision. This procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and requires a small stitch in the skin afterwards. A small scar will be left, which will fade over time. Can I get a mole removed on the NHS? In recent years, the NHS has reduced the type of “non-essential” treatments it delivers. This means some procedures, such as mole removal and warts, verrucae and skin tag removal, can no longer be administered for free on the NHS. A mole that is not believed to be life-threatening or cancerous will not generally be removed on the NHS. I have private medical insurance, will my mole removal costs be covered? Patients with insurance have their costs usually covered by their insurance policy in full, subject to policy conditions. We advise you to check with your provider prior to booking.

If you have several moles over your body and find it hard to keep track of their size and shape, this service is a useful way of ensuring you don’t miss any potentially harmful developments. It involves having several digital full body photographs taken, which can later be compared to spot any signs of malignant melanoma, a common form of skin cancer.

How to best look after your moles Sun exposure is the main cause of skin cancers, so protecting your skin from the sun is crucial for skin health. Experts advise to avoid direct sun exposure between 11am and 3pm on sunny days, and to wear protective clothing in addition to using sunscreen regularly. Consultant dermatologist at sk:n, Dr Jinah Yoo, recommends using at least an SPF30 sunscreen with a UVB and UVA protection star rating of 4 or 5: “Sunscreen should be applied 15 to 30 minutes before going outside and should be reapplied every two hours. Regular self-monitoring of your moles to look for any changes in colour, shape or size is also recommended. Warning signs for cancerous changes from existing or new moles/freckles can be easily remembered using the ABCDE rule outlined below:” Asymmetry – irregular asymmetrical shape Border – irregular or blurred edges Colour – colour changes: uneven colour with different shades of black, brown or pink Diameter – any rapid changes in size. Most melanomas are at least 6mm Evolving – when a mole changes in size, shape or colour, or begins to bleed or scab If you notice any of these changes, you should seek advice from a doctor.
