The procedures of removing moles can be ugly, pain-staking, and expensive. The last thing we want to do is pay a lot of money in clinical fees to have a mole painfully removed and a scar to be left in its place. It is important for us to know that freezing moles is a great alternative as compared to surgical removal of moles.
In the process of freezing off a mole, liquid nitrogen is used. Nitrogen gas changes to liquid at a temperature that is below -320 Celsius. This is applied to a cotton swab or sprayed directly onto the mole. While it may sound harmful, it is generally a successful method of mole removal, allowing the affected area to heal over after 2 weeks.
Whether a mole is cancerous or not, the freezing method is effective in thoroughly targeting and destroying the mole's cells. Unlike surgery where the skin is usually cut off, there is no need for stitches as there is no wound left behind afterwards. The area may blister within a period of 2-3 days after the procedure. Scarring is rare, yet in some cases is a possibility. It is important to take care of the wound to ensure that you avoid infection developing. You must keep the area covered, and avoid touching or picking the blister that is expected to form a few days after treatment. This is normal. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice after the procedure. If the are becomes painful and the blister does not dry or scab off within 5 days, see your doctor as soon as you can.
