Effects of removal of a birthmark

Very often birthmarks have readings for removal. For example, a doctor will advise you to get rid of a birthmark if it is in an uncomfortable place and constantly rubs against clothing. Removal is also subject to nevuses of large sizes due to their propensity for malignancy. But not all patients agree to the procedure, since many are afraid of the consequences of removing the birthmark. What can these consequences be, and are they so terrible?

All dermatologists agree that the most dangerous consequences can be after self-removal of the mole: many for this use all kinds of moxibustion, scraping, etc. Ignoring the doctor's visit, such patients do not take into account the degree of risk, because they can easily make a mistake in the depth of the nevus and in the nature of education. Such an independent intervention can be a deadly danger.

Currently, medicine has all sorts of ways to get rid of moles. There are few traumatic and painless techniques, and in one session you can eliminate several birthmarks at the same time.

Consequences of removal of a birthmark on the face

On the human face there are many blood and lymphatic vessels, and the skin on it is thin and delicate. Therefore, removal of the birthmark on the face should be done very carefully and professionally.

The consequences of removing the birthmark on the face may depend on:

• from the size and form of education;
• from the professionalism of the doctor;
• from the selected removal method;
• from the patient's immunity;
• how carefully the patient will adhere to the recommendations of the rehabilitation period.

Proper care of the wound after removal largely determines how aesthetically the skin looks in this place. The doctor after the procedure will necessarily indicate a few rules that should be remembered and performed in order to avoid complications.

The damaged skin area must be treated with antiseptics, which the doctor will write out.

Formed crust on the surface of the wound sooner or later will disappear itself. It can not be ripped off, otherwise the wound will heal for a long time, and in its place an unaesthetic scar is formed.

During the healing period, you can not take a bath, bathe in a bath, swim in open and closed reservoirs, use cosmetics on damaged tissues, and also stay in the sun for a long time.

Effects of removal of moles by nitrogen

The procedure for removing nevuses with liquid nitrogen is called cryodestruction. Usually this method does not give any guarantees, therefore results can be different.

The fact is that when processing tissues with nitrogen, it is impossible to accurately calculate the depth of penetration of the substance. This often leads to incomplete removal of education, so sometimes additional treatment may be required.

The stage of healing after cryodestruction is long, and after it remains traces of burns - scars. Restoration of tissues takes a long time, for several months.

During the removal process, healthy tissue can also be accidentally injured. Such damage will look like a burn, and its healing will take longer than usual.

The only advantage of this method is its simplicity and cheapness.

Consequences after removal of a birthmark with a laser

Laser removal of moles is currently recognized as the safest, since it does not require additional recovery time, and after the procedure there are no disfiguring cicatricial changes in the skin.

The entire laser removal session lasts a few minutes. At the same time there is no cutting of tissues, there is no risk of bleeding, contamination of blood.

Complications after laser removal are extremely rare, and recovery occurs within the shortest possible time. The consequence of laser removal - a thin dry crust - will disappear for 7-10 days. After healing and regeneration of the skin, there is almost no trace left. Only the skin in place of the birthmark can be a little lighter than usual, which eventually becomes invisible.

Effects of removal of moles by electrocoagulation

Electrocoagulation helps to remove unwanted formation in one session, using electric current for this purpose. During the procedure, the depth of penetration is controlled visually, so the quality of the procedure depends on the experience and qualifications of the doctor.

Among the possible consequences of electrocoagulation can be called unless a small scar in memory of the procedure.

• The mole is removed within one procedure.
• You can remove the nevus on any part of the body.
• There is no risk of bleeding.

After removal, there remains a small speck that resembles a burn. With the appropriate treatment, the speck is passed for several weeks.

The consequences of surgical removal of a birthmark

Surgical intervention is prescribed for the removal of large-sized or deeply ingrown neoplasm. As a rule, the removal of the mole is carried out under local anesthesia. After the procedure, the doctor puts seams.

The wound after the surgical removal of the mole heals, like the usual postoperative tissue damage. Approximately in 5-7 days the doctor will remove the stitches, and the removal site will need to be carefully processed.

The consequence of the incision is a scar - unfortunately, inevitable. For this reason, surgical removal is not performed in the face area.

The cumulative consequences of this method include:

• risk of bleeding (especially when removing large moles);
• danger of infection with microbes;
• swelling and pain.

The consequences of removing a birthmark with a radio wave knife

Removing moles with the aid of the Surgitron apparatus is a relatively new method, whose action is based on the properties of radio waves.

The method is good in its own way:

• allows to avoid bleeding during the procedure;
• prevents the appearance of unaesthetic scars.

The consequences after radio-wave disposal are usually a rarity. They are possible only in some cases:

• aggravation of inflammation in the presence of inflammation in the area of removal of the mole;
• allergic manifestations;
• increased blood pressure;
• convulsive attacks with epilepsy.

After exposure to radio waves, a thin crust forms on the surface of the skin. Subsequently, she exfoliates, leaving a barely visible trace.

After removal of the mole, regardless of the method chosen, it is necessary to clarify with the doctor: will the part of the remote education be sent for histological examination? Only such an analysis will allow to accurately determine the nature of the birthmark. If the histology indicates signs of rebirth, then the place of removal should be carefully observed, otherwise the consequences of removing the mole may be unpredictable. So, if the formation was only partially removed, a tumor can grow.
