But that is not to say that one should prioritize beauty over safety. Let's take moles, for example. At what point should you entertain the idea of undergoing for a mole removal surgery?</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moles are generally harmless skin growths. Most people will not be bothered by the appearance of moles unless they become a source of inconvenience and self-esteem concerns, or unless they show signs of leading to cancer, such as when pain and discoloration occurs. Therefore, before deciding whether you should remove your moles, you must learn a little about moles. Check your&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/skin/moles-fact-sheet\">Moles Fact Sheet</a>&nbsp;to avoid unnecessary complications and expenses.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let's begin.</p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mole Colors</strong></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moles are typically brown, flesh, or black in color. Although the task of monitoring your moles can be difficult, especially if they are located in areas far from the reach of your eyes, it is still advisable that you observe any changes in the appearance of your moles over time. You can let your family or friends do that for you. If the moles turn bluish, then you should seek a specialist's help, particularly a dermatologist.</p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mole Location</strong></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The area of mole growth is said to be closely associated with the likelihood of developing cancer or malignant melanoma. That is because there are body parts where moles are exposed to constant friction and pressure.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apart from that, appearance of moles, especially those bigger in sizes, in conspicuous areas such as on the face, inner thighs, and armpits can also lead to anxiety, limited mobility, and self-esteem problems. These reasons compel individuals to seek mole removal.</p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mole Size</strong></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is said that an average person who is in his early 20s can have at least 10 to 30 moles. Some are miniscule that we barely notice them, while others are large enough to attract other people's attention, cause embarrassment or restrict activities.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The size of the mole can be the reason why people seek surgical removal or excision biopsy. Note though that the bigger the mole, the wider is the excision required. More likely, a 7mm mole will leave a 2cm scar. However, scars shouldn't worry anyone these days. Laser treatments can be availed later to reduce the appearance of scars.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other than changes in diameter, people should also pay attention to the thickness or shape of the moles. Any irregularity observed in the mole's outline should already alert you to seek medical examination, especially if you also experience bleeding, severe itchiness, or soreness.</p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Mole Removal by Doctors</strong></h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other people develop complications due to performing DIY treatments for their moles. What, with the number of unverified articles in the Internet these days, many people will be misled into thinking it's safe to remove moles without any proper knowledge. However, it is of utmost importance that you should not follow suit, lest you will end up with bigger health and financial problems.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seek expert help, and as you do so, learn some of the basic procedures doctors perform when removing moles.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First and foremost, doctors take a careful look at the moles in question. They observe and they incorporate notes from the interview. Following that, they proceed with the biopsy for confirmation of the depth and composition of the mole. Remember that there are moles where cells grow deep underneath, which have high possibilities for recurrence, if not fully removed.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moles can be cut off using a scalpel or pair of scissors. Regardless of which tool to use, mole removal always requires stitches. The incision is normally shaped like that of an eye, so the stitching later on will be easier.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another mole removal method requires little amount of liquid nitrogen to be sprayed over the area where the mole had occupied. It melts the mole, so to speak. Though it may leave off blisters, through time, these blisters will be healed.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moles can also be removed by burning. Doctors use electric current running through wires to burn off the skin's upper layers. The burning method though is recommended for those moles without deeply-rooted cells. Repeated sessions may even be needed to ensure no re-growth incidences.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In all three methods, your doctor may put you under local anesthesia to help you ease through the operation. And, do not worry, all procedures will leave no scars.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whatever your reason, either for cosmetic or for prevention of complications, you always have the option to remove your moles. Just remember that your choice of physician is critical to the success of your treatment.
