Mole & Skin Tag Removal Whilst the occasional mole can look attractive and is often called a beauty spot, too many can sometimes cause embarrassment. Moles are usually brown or black in colour and the only moles of medical concern, are those that have an irregular border, change shape, bleed, itch, have a discharge or have the appearance of new moles around them. To remove them without scarring we use Cosmetic Radio Surgery and if you are concerned about them we use a mole scanner to give a risk assessment of melanoma and then remove them.
What Is A Mole? A mole is a collection of pigment cells present within the skin. These cells are known as melanocytes. Sometimes moles are referred to their scienctific term, melanocytic naevi. They are extremely common. Most people are born with a few moles and develop others during their lives. They vary in size from some barely visible, to large covering virtually the entire body (termed bathing trunk naevi).
Skin Tags Skin tags are a real irritation. They are very common around the neck, underarms, eyelids and groin area. They are often hereditary and can occur during pregnancy due to hormones. They look like pigmented pieces of flesh hanging from the skin and can cause irritation by snagging on clothing and can bleed. The most effective way to remove them without scarring is with Cosmetic Radio Surgery.
