Frequently Asked Questions
Is mole removal painful?
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia before the procedure, so you should feel little to no pain, though mild soreness at the site is common for a few days afterward.
How much does mole excision cost in India?
Costs typically range from Rs 2,000 to Rs 6,000 per lesion, including the pathology examination, though this can vary based on the lesion's size and location.
Will the removed mole leave a scar?
Some scarring is expected with any skin excision, but a skilled dermatologist or surgeon will use techniques to minimise its visibility, and scars typically fade significantly over several months.
How long until I get the biopsy results?
Histopathology results are usually available within 5 to 10 days, and your doctor will discuss the findings and any further treatment needed based on the results.
What if the mole turns out to be cancerous?
If malignancy is found, further treatment such as a wider excision or additional staging tests may be recommended, and early detection through excision generally leads to excellent outcomes, so it's important to follow up promptly with your dermatologist or oncologist.
