Hello,
Methods for removing moles (nevi):
1. Electrocautery (electrolysis) can be used for removal.
2. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser ablation is another effective option.
After treatment, it is essential to avoid contact with water to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. These pigmentary changes typically occur in areas such as the waist or axillae—regions frequently subjected to friction or mechanical irritation. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are recommended for monitoring and evaluation.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
