Mole Removal in Bangkok

Mole removal by specialists in the Bangkok area

Most moles are harmless, and many people remove them for comfort or cosmetic reasons. But because a small number of changing or irregular moles can be skin cancer, mole removal should be done by a specialist who assesses the mole first. At Siam Dermatology in the Greater Bangkok area, moles are removed by board-certified dermatologists and a plastic surgeon, with pathology sent when there is any concern.

Check before you remove

A specialist examines a mole using the ABCDE guide — Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter over 6mm, and Evolution or change over time — often with a dermoscope. A mole that is changing, bleeding, itchy or irregular should never be casually burned off at a beauty salon, because that destroys the tissue needed to check for cancer. Removing the right way protects your health.

How moles are removed

Depending on the mole, options include shave removal for raised benign moles, surgical excision with stitches when the full mole and a margin need to be removed or sent for pathology, and laser or electrocautery for selected small lesions. When there is any suspicion of skin cancer, excision with pathology is the safe choice. The method is chosen to balance a good cosmetic result with safety.

What to expect

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes a short time. You will receive wound-care instructions, and if pathology is sent, your doctor will review the result with you at follow-up. Scarring is minimised by careful technique.
