How to Know if Mole Removal Will Leave Scarring

A number of methods such as laser surgery, mole shaving, cauterization and excision surgery are used for mole removal. You can also remove moles through home remedies by applying cauliflower juice, onion juice or honey. The diameter and color of the mole will gradually diminish, though it may not completely vanish. Here is how to know if mole removal will leave scarring.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Ask your plastic surgeon about the method used for mole removal. Laser surgery often leaves a scar.
2. Find out specifically whether the operation would leave a scar on your body. Ask whether the scar will be permanent or temporary.
3. Learn about the efficacy of home remedies. Use of natural items such as cauliflower juice, pineapple juice, onion juice or honey will take long time to remove the mole. The scarring will depend on how deeply rooted in the skin the mole is.
4. Refer to books or Web sites containing information about mole removal. See resources section below for more information.

Tips & Warnings

• Consult more than one dermatologist or surgeon, if necessary, before mole removal.
• Don’t have unrealistic expectations of surgery. It may give you better, but not completely flawless skin.
