Let us take this opportunity to learn more about the four
associated risks to skin mole treatments. It is our goal to have a full
grasp on the dynamics behind these risks, especially on how they came
about. With that knowledge, we will be in a better position to look for
ways to mitigate or even eliminate those risks as we go about the
treatments. We will keep those risks at bay by employing some
precautions and safety measures. It is worth noting that the treatment
of skin moles tends to be quite invasive. We're still a long, long way
off from the time when you can simply wash down a capsule or a tablet
with water and your skin moles would fade away. When we say "treating
the moles", we are talking about procedures such as excision (cutting)
or cauterization (burning) of the moles. They are, unfortunately, both
of them, invasive. Being invasive medical procedures, they naturally
come with various risks.
Now the first of the four main risks that are associated with skin mole treatment is the risk of infection. It is a risk that is present even if you are careful in choosing which treatment to use between excision and cauterization. But, to be sure, the risk is higher in cases where the procedure involves simple excision. During the mole removal procedure, it is highly possible that bacteria and other pathogens gain entry through the openings made on the skin and start messing around inside the body, resulting to various illnesses. The risk of infection can be reduced by having the procedure carried out under hygienic conditions. Many people ignore this part, thinking it's just a minor surgery anyway. There would be lower chances of infection if the medical practitioner or the doctor who is performing the skin mole treatment undertakes it with the same amount of care and diligence he practices in major operations or surgeries. As with any other major surgery, it is important that the area or room be made conducive to surgery, and that the surgical tools and implements have been thoroughly sterilized beforehand. Proper post-operative care can also reduce the chances of infection.
There is also a risk of the person who had the mole removed experiencing anesthetic allergy. Since moles are rooted deep in the skin, it is a given that before they are taken out, the person has to be administered with anesthesia first. However, there are some anesthetic agents that can cause allergies when administered to some people. It would be difficult to mitigate this risk for the simple reason that it is also difficult to tell whether a patient is predisposed to be allergic to the anesthetic agent that will be given.
A procedure to remove skin moles is invasive, so another risk present is nerve damage. This can be mitigated if the medical practitioner carrying out the treatment is very careful. In the course of the procedure, some nerves could go all over the place without any provocation. This could be due to certain anatomical differences among patients.
And the fourth major risk associated with skin mole treatment is the risk of scar formation. Take note that there is a possibility of an uglier-looking scar taking the place of the mole that has been previously removed. Keep in mind that you'd have lesser options in scar removal than you do in mole removal. What you could do, however, would be to try to hide or mask the presence of these scars using various tricks and tips.
