What are moles?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no” el_class=”color-pink”]Moles<\/strong><\/a> are a normal manifestation on the skin of every human being. These are benign accumulations of light or darker brown skin cells (depending on their melanin content), flat or flattened.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]There are 2 main categories: congenital (present at birth, or shortly after) and acquired (may appear at some point during a person’s lifetime).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”616″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]<\/p>\n

Congenital moles are divided into small, medium and large (over 20cm), with the latter having moderate rates of resulting in melanoma and should be surgically removed by the plastic surgeon.<\/p>\n

Acquired ones appear mainly after adolescence and increase in number with the exposure in sunlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Why is Dermasurgery necessary?<\/b><\/p>\n

Because some of these moles may in the future develop into malignant lesions or melanoma, a malignant and deadly form of skin cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

DYSPLASTIC MOLE (informal mole)<\/b><\/p>\n

These are common benign moles, which look like melanoma. People with dysplastic moles are more likely to develop single or multiple melanomas. The greater the number of these moles that a person has, the higher the risk.<\/p>\n

Medical reports indicate that about 2-8% of the Caucasian population develops these moles. Heredity seems to play an important role in the formation of moles. People with dysplastic moles and a family history of melanoma (2 or more blood relatives with this disease) have an extremely high risk of developing melanoma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MELANOMA<\/b><\/p>\n

It is one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer. It appears either as an asymmetrical, irregular border, multicolored or brown spot or as an appendage that continues to increase in size over time. In rare cases, it may not be pigmented.
\nHowever, it can also occur on the ground of a pre-existing mole that has changed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
