Mole surgery may lead to malignant transformation

When there is a mole on the skin, many people will choose to have surgery to remove it to prevent it from becoming malignant and causing serious consequences. However, there are cases where mole surgery may lead to malignant changes. What is going on? This situation indicates that the mole has become more serious and has spread to other parts of the body. Laser treatment may cause the mole to become more malignant. I would like to remind everyone that although many beauty salons now have laser mole removal services, you must choose a regular and qualified institution. It is best to go to the hospital for examination before removal.

1. Why does mole surgery lead to malignant transformation?

Once a mole breaks repeatedly and fails to heal for a long time, it is a dangerous signal that the mole has become malignant.

According to pathology, moles are divided into three types: intradermal nevus, junctional nevus and mixed nevus. When some changes are found in a mole, inappropriate treatment, including some people using thread tightening, some people using salt rubbing, some people doing laser freezing and other series of wrong treatments may accelerate the process of malignancy, or if it has already become malignant, it may spread and metastasize to distant places. In addition, repeated use of laser treatment or medication to remove moles may cause the mole to become malignant.

2. Methods of removing moles

There are many institutions on the market that treat moles, and there are many methods such as laser, freezing, and mole removal with drugs. Some beauty salons now commonly use high-frequency electroacupuncture to remove moles. Although it has high accuracy, it will damage a larger area.

3. The safest method of removing moles

Carbon dioxide laser and ND-YAG laser mole removal are the safest methods of mole removal at present. This method is like 'micro-carving on ivory', with high precision, little damage and fast recovery.

4. Precautions for mole removal

Do not blindly use methods such as laser or mole removal drugs to remove moles. Because some moles cannot be removed by laser, drug removal, etc., they must be treated with surgical removal. If laser treatment is repeated, the mole may appear to be clean on the surface, but in fact it cannot be completely eliminated. It is understood that there is another advantage of going to a regular hospital to remove a mole. The doctor will first determine whether the mole can be removed and should be removed. Some moles may cause malignant melanoma after being removed, so doctors will make careful judgments.
