While moles are common skin lesions that almost everyone experiences, not everybody knows much about them. We are here to help! Moles can range from the size of a pen mark at the smallest to larger than a pencil eraser, and can range in color from flesh colored to red and black. Small, flesh-colored moles are perfectly normal, but when moles start to enlarge, turn black, or become misshapen, they may pose a real threat. These moles may even be cancerous, so if this is something you’re observing, we recommend getting them examined by a qualified medical professional as soon as possible! If a mole is cancerous, it should be examined by a dermatologist, who can provide the most proper treatment.
Can Children Receive Mole Removal?
Moles are most commonly experienced by adults, particularly those who are over 40 years of age, but children can get them as well. They can be particularly problematic if they cause the child physical discomfort, and if a mole is in an embarrassing place on their face, they could be subject to bullying from other kids at school.
The good news is that The Mole Doctor® is here to help! Our modern, effective, and specialized treatment is safe for children, teens, and adults alike! Our treatment is near-painless and relatively mature children will have no problem with our treatment. You could say that we’re patient with our patients, especially our beautiful children who need moles treated. This means that if a child who needs mole removal has certain fears about the procedure, the surgeons here will be willing to listen to their concerns and answer their questions. This is particularly important for children, who don’t understand the world quite as well and may need to be reassured by trustworthy adults.
The best child candidate for mole removal treatment are children who are able to sit still through a medical procedure like this one. While the treatment is relatively painless, it can still be hard for many children to sit still. If they’re fidgeting during the procedure, the doctor may not be able to keep the radiofrequency ablation treatment strictly to the treatment area, causing harm to the surrounding area that we don’t want to treat. Such children who have trouble sitting still may be best off waiting until they are a bit older and more mature to receive treatment, but when they’re ready for treatment, our treatment will be ready for them!
