Why Mole/Lesion Excision Is Needed

Mole or lesion excision is recommended when a skin growth shows features suspicious for skin cancer, such as irregular borders, colour variation, or recent changes in size or shape, or simply when a mole is cosmetically bothersome or repeatedly irritated by clothing or shaving. It is also performed to remove benign cysts or lesions causing discomfort or recurrent infection.

Signs You May Need Mole/Lesion Excision

Warning signs include a mole that has changed in size, shape, or colour, developed irregular or blurred borders, started bleeding, itching, or crusting, or simply looks different from other moles on the body. A new growth appearing after age 30, or any lesion that a patient or dermatologist finds concerning on examination, is a reason to consider excision and biopsy.

Types of Mole/Lesion Excision

A shave excision removes the raised portion of a lesion without stitches and is typically used for lower-risk growths, while an excisional biopsy removes the entire lesion along with a margin of surrounding tissue and requires stitches, generally preferred when melanoma is suspected. A punch biopsy, using a small circular tool, may be used first to sample a lesion before deciding on a full excision.

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.
