How to judge whether moles should be removed?
With the popularization of medical knowledge, more and more patients are worried about the malignant change of their moles and go to plastic surgery hospitals to ask for removal of moles. So,

1. There are different numbers of moles on the human surface, which are found at birth or grow the day after tomorrow. On average, there are about 20 moles on each corpse. The vast majority of moles will not become malignant, and only a few moles will become melanoma. In the past,

The malignant degree of melanoma is quite high, so the treatment is quite "cruel". If the toes are found to be black, the lower limbs will be amputated. At present, with the increase of treatment experience and the progress of technology, the treatment of melanoma is also progressing. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about the possibility of malignant transformation of moles.

2. The signs of malignant transformation of nevus are: a) the growth rate is obviously accelerated; B) Symptoms such as itching and pain appear locally; C) local ulcer; D) Nevus are ambiguous and invasive. Therefore, self-monitoring can be carried out according to the above characteristics. Of course, there is no absolute existence in medicine.

Malignant transformation of hydatidiform mole does not necessarily have the above symptoms, even if the above symptoms appear, it is not necessarily malignant transformation.

4. Should moles be removed or removed by laser? It is the safest way to send the specimen to pathological examination after resection to obtain accurate results. But it will leave a surgical scar after resection.

Plastic surgery can hide the scar to the greatest extent, but it can't be completely removed. Laser nevus removal is suitable for superficial and small areas of nevus. The advantage is that as long as the peeling depth is properly mastered, there is basically no trace after healing. Therefore, both have their own advantages, and it is necessary to analyze the specific situation of each patient.
