Mole Removal In Manchester

What Is A Mole?

A mole is a coloured spot on your skin that is usually small and harmless. Moles are not usually cause for concern unless you notice a change, such as the colour, shape or size.

There are different types of moles and most harmless ones are oval shaped with a smooth edge. A mole can either be raised off the surface of your skin or flat.

Sometimes a mole may feel rough or smooth to the touch and can have hairs growing out of it.

The general advice on moles is to only see a specialist if it has changed in some way. However, there is nothing stopping you from seeking advice on moles at any time to help put your mind at rest.

Aftercare And Recovery

Aftercare and recovery after having a mole removed is minimal, depending on the procedure and size of the mole.

All patients usually return home the same day and if you have had a mole removed by excision will be dressed accordingly with suitable bandages / plasters.

You will receive advice and guidance on what you can and can’t do following a procedure. Most patients return to normal activities straight away – providing the mole has not been removed from a sensitive area.

You should take it easy for a few days and may be required to return to the clinic to have your wound checked and dressings changed.

However, if your mole has been removed by laser then this will not be necessary.

If a mole or lesion has been removed from your face, then you will be asked to avoid using heavy face creams or make-up for a few days.
