A mole is a small spot or growth on the skin that can be flat or raised.
 Most moles are harmless and stay the same throughout life. Some people choose removal for comfort, cosmetic reasons, or because the mole changes with time.

Modern mole removal is safe, quick and gentle. The method depends on the mole’s size, depth and location.

How to know if a mole needs medical attention

A mole usually stays stable. But you should get it checked if you notice:

  • The mole is growing in size

  • Change in colour or shape.

  • New itching, pain or bleeding

  • A mole that catches on clothes or a razor

  • A mole in a sensitive or friction area

  • A family history of skin cancers

  • Cosmetic concern for face or neck moles

A simple examination helps confirm if the mole is harmless or needs removal.

Common types of moles (simple explanation)

You do not need medical terms, but these basics help:

Flat mole

Even with the skin. Usually harmless.

Raised mole

Slight bump on the skin. Can catch on clothing or shaving.

Skin-tag–like mole

Small hanging piece of skin. Common on the neck and underarms.

Atypical mole

Looks different in colour or shape. Needs closer attention.

Most moles can be removed easily once examined.

Why do people choose mole removal?

You may consider removal if:

  • The mole spoils your confidence in photos or daily life
  • It rubs against clothing.
  • It bleeds or gets irritated while shaving.
  • You feel unsure about a change in its appearance.
  • You want to rule out any risk.
  • You prefer a cleaner skin look.

Mole removal provides peace of mind and cosmetic improvement.

How doctors confirm the mole is harmless

Most moles are diagnosed by examination.
 If the mole looks unusual, the doctor may suggest:

Dermatoscopy

A magnified skin check to study the mole safely.

Biopsy (only when needed)

A small sample to confirm the diagnosis.

These steps help decide the safest removal method.

Mole removal treatments in Pune & PCMC at Chrysalis

There are different ways to remove a mole. Your doctor chooses based on size, depth and location.

1. Laser Mole Removal

A gentle laser beam removes the mole layer by layer.
 Useful for small, flat or superficial moles.
 Minimal downtime and often no stitches.

2. Excision Mole Removal

A small cut is made to remove the mole and its root.
 Used for deeper or larger moles.
 Stitches may be needed.

All methods are safe when done in a clean, professional setup.

3. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Mole Removal

Radiofrequency Ablation uses controlled radio waves to precisely remove the mole.

  • Ideal for small to medium-sized raised moles and skin-tag–like moles

     

  • High precision with minimal damage to surrounding skin

     

  • Very little bleeding due to instant cauterization

     

  • Usually no stitches required

     

  • Faster healing and low risk of scarring

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. It is quick, safe, and commonly used in cosmetic areas such as the face, neck, and underarms.

Dr. Salil recommends RFA when it yields a cleaner result than laser or excision, depending on the mole’s depth and location.

Does mole removal hurt?

The area is numbed beforehand.
 You may feel slight pressure, not pain.
 Mild soreness afterwards is normal and settles quickly.
