Mole Removal
Many benign lesions are removed with a skin biopsy and excision. Many patients request the removal of benign moles for cosmetic reasons or because the mole becomes sore and itchy when rubbed by clothing. The most common method of removal is to shave the mole flush with the surrounding skin. This technique leaves a flat, skin-colored to light scar the size of the original lesion. Other types of removal are also available and your High Desert physician will choose the technique that will leave you with the most cosmetically acceptable scar.
