What causes moles?

Moles are typically small, coloured spots found on all skin types. Most people have them and they’re usually nothing to worry about unless they change in size, shape or colour.

Most moles are harmless. Harmless moles are generally round or oval-shaped, with a smooth edge.

A mole can be flat or raised and may feel smooth or rough. Sometimes they may have hair growing from them. Moles are usually darker on brown or black skin.

It’s normal for:

  • to have several moles regardless of your skin conditions
  • babies to be born with moles
  • new moles to appear – especially in children and teenagers
  • moles to fade or disappear as you get older
  • moles to get slightly darker during pregnancy
  • to frequently undergo the easily accessible mole checks or mole mapping

Why get a mole, skin tags or skin lesions removed?

Moles can affect your appearance and are cosmetically unacceptable, but they can also be a nuisance that affects self confidence.

Many get cut during shaving, bleed, or get caught on clothing, necklaces and combs and need to undergo a treatment removal procedure.

Some can be ‘beauty spots’, but others may have a negative effect, being unattractive or a cause for concern.

The same need for removal may also apply to acne, cysts, papillomas, skin blemishes, skin cells, skin tags, small birthmarks, raised moles, warts, and other lumps and bumps on the skin.

Techniques for mole and skin tag removal

Mr Banwell offers a range of different treatment options at the clinic.

Mole removal on the face and neck are the most responsive to clinical techniques. Other body areas are more likely to leave a small patch of pale skin after treatment, sometimes slightly red for a few weeks, and in some cases a small scar or wound.

Of course, all moles are examined by Mr Banwell and his care quality commission who will identify and diagnose each case before treatments.

Upon removal, if there are any concerns that the moles are not completely benign (harmless growths) then sampling of tissue may be recommended by the pathologist. Early detection is the best way to keep on top of your medical history and is completely harmless.

In these cases we like to be certain the mole is not possibly cancerous or possible side effects from the proposed treatment.

 

Mole shave excision

Doctors remove most moles quickly and simply in one session without the need to cut the skin or have stitches (otherwise known as shave excision) however sometimes, stitches may be required. Mr Paul Banwell, consultant plastic surgeon and expert skin specialist, uses both methods to remove moles, birthmarks and skin tags.

These small procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic (with you awake) but in some cases sedation or a general anaesthetic might be preferred.

 

Mole excision biopsy

Depending on individual needs, Mr Banwell may decide to remove the whole mole (this process is termed an excision biopsy).

In most cases the moles will be sent away to the laboratory the same day as treatment for analysis unless the surgical removal is purely for cosmetic reasons. 

You are in good hands as Mr Banwell has extensive experience and performs hundreds of removal procedures every year and is the founder and head of the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Unit (MASCU) in East Grinstead.

Mr Banwell has clinics for mole removal, surgical mole excision and skin tag removal in Brighton, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Tunbridge Wells, Worthing and London.

Mr Banwell removes hairy moles, unsightly moles, skin tags, warts, warty lesions, keratotic lesions, skin cancers, basal cell carcinomas (BCC), squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and malignant melanomas (MM).

Anaesthetics at our mole removal clinic, Brighton

 Mole removal is usually performed under local anaesthetic where the skin is numbed with a needle and you are awake. This is a quick and easy procedure with a short recovery period and the full details will be thoroughly explained to you. (Just like at the dentist, where local anaesthetic wears off after a few hours.)

 

How long before daily activities may be resumed?

Aftercare post-removal is an important stage of all procedures and treatment. Once treated, you will be able to return to sedentary activity (eg an office job) the next day, but you should avoid all strenuous or physical activity for a minimum of 2 weeks.

Stitches are removed 1-2 weeks after surgery. If your lump was shaved off, then you will need to leave the dressing and wait till it falls off in its own time.

You can drive the following day if you are careful. If the operation was on your face or head, it is imperative not to bend down or lift things for at least 48-hours after the operation.

This is to minimise the risk of bleeding (for example, tying shoe laces, bring your foot up whilst sitting, rather than bending down to your shoe).

It is also a good idea to use a couple of pillows when sleeping to avoid laying flat until the consultant feels the targeted area is completely healed. This helps minimise swelling and there may be redness and scarring. All patients must carefully adhere to all aftercare advice after removal, regardless of any individual’s treatment, in order to minimise risk.

Mr Banwell provides an excellent service in pre-operation information, as well as total expertise and attention to detail in surgery. He was very informative and helpful after care.  I received excellent and sympathetic nursing care and anaesthetist. Mr Banwell has a very helpful practice manager and assistant.  My eyes have regained an ‘openness’ similar to my younger years. I no longer look tired.  I would highly recommend Mr Banwell to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.


Victoria B.

Mr Banwell exceeded all expectation as did his team. Excellent communication and explanation of all procedures. 100% punctual, 100% attentive. The operation was a stunning success and virtually invisible. The whole process of dealing with Paul and the team has been so simple and easy. Options and operational procedures were explained and executed superbly. A total professional and perfectionist who demonstrates great skill, care and knowledge. I would have no hesitation to recommend Paul Banwell. Quite simply, if you want the best, Paul is it!


Tim H.

These were only minor operations, but I have never had anything like it before. All I can say is that it was an excellent place to start. The care was excellent from start to finish with a perfect blemish free outcome. I would certainly recommend the service to others.


Warwick S.

I was kept well informed and thought it was excellent to see Mr Banwell before surgery, during recovery and afterwards to hear all went well. It was something that caused me discomfort and sensitivity and now I feel much happier not only with the appearance but more importantly it is much more comfortable for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Banwell to my friends, he is truly professional yet has a nice relaxed manner which puts you at ease.


Helen S.

I am delighted to say that everything has settled down very well and my upper lids are looking extremely good. I would like to thank you for the tremendous care you have taken with me over the past 15 months.


Rosemary F.

From the welcome I got on my first visit to post op consultations, the team were very friendly. Mr Banwell is undoubtedly the most professional and caring surgeon I could wish for. I have felt completely confident in his expertise, and am thrilled with the results. I would not hesitate – and indeed have – recommended him.
