How Do You Know If Your Mole Is Melanoma - 3 Tips To Identify Your Mole Or Melanoma

One main reason behind anyone who wants to remove their moles is the potential that it could be cancerous or it is melanoma.

This is what you will have to pay attention to because most melanoma patients fail to treat this seriously and regret having taken any initial action steps to identify it earlier.

Just how do you identify if your mole is a melanoma or not will help your decision making in having it removed. Of course, this is besides just a cosmetic improvement alone.

1. Normally harmless moles has smooth even edges. So that means if your mole typically has rough (uneven) or jagged edges then it needs to be examined by a certified dermatologist.

2. A mole which is harmless also normally remains at a constant size. I've got a few moles which are fairly constant in size on my body so if they are growing in size on yours, take note. Also, if another mole suddenly develops beside a pre-existing mole then you need to get it examined too.

3. Majority Of Normal Moles Are Black Or Brown In Color. Likewise, if your mole is of a different color like shades of black, brown or even red then you will have to have it examined and checked by your doctor. It could very well be melanoma.

Otherwise, there is no need to be alarmed at all instances. All it takes is to do a regular self check and take the necessary steps there after using the tips given above.

What Is Mole Removal In Specific?

Moles, or nevi, are often removed for multiple reasons. They can be removed by 2 very common surgical ways:

1. Excision (cutting) with stitches.

2. Excision with cauterization (using laser-based tool used to burn away the mole), we call it 'laser mole removal'

Although laser mole removal has been commonly performed, it is not usually the method of choice for most larger or deeper moles because the laser light might not penetrate deeply enough.

Usually, the dermatologist or doctor (a skin specialist) may prefer excision with or without stitches depending on the depth of the mole and the type of cosmetic results.

So, exactly what is a mole?

Many people think that a mole is any dark spot or abnormality in the skin. Doctors define these very differently. However, skin marks such as these are not treated the same way moles are and are not discussed here:


a) Abnormal blood vessels (hemangiomas)

b) Birthmarks

c) Keratoses (benign or pre-cancerous spottings, which surface after 30 years of age)


What really causes moles for you?


Some people are just naturally born with moles. Other moles appear over a certain period of time.


Sun exposure or sub bathing seems to play a role in the causes of the development of moles and may even be responsible in the development of atypical, or dysplastic, moles.

Heredity cannot be pushed aside. Many families have a type of mole known as dysplastic (atypical), which can be linked with a higher frequency of melanoma or skin cancer.
