Why do I have so many moles on my face?

Some moles on the face do affect the appearance, so many people want to remove them. However, many people will realize that some moles can be removed, some moles cannot be removed, some moles are dispensable, and some are good for the body. I believe everyone will feel very confused. Let me tell you the reasons why moles are formed on the human body surface, how to remove bad moles, and how to prevent them.

The medical name for moles is melanocytes, or tumors. Although tumors sound scary, they are actually benign tumors and generally do not turn into cancer.

It is caused by excessive accumulation of pigments. Pigmented nevi like this will generally disappear slowly after a certain age. The moles we know are black and red. Some moles on the face do affect the appearance, so many people want to remove them.

However, from the perspective of physiognomy, some moles cannot be removed. If it is really unnecessary, then don't remove them. How to remove moles on the face? There are many medical methods nowadays. Let's learn about them below!

Pay special attention to the following situations:

1. Remove the hair from the mole. Some larger moles may have hair growing on them. Hairy moles are not at high risk of developing skin cancer, and there is no danger in removing the hair from moles. You can safely shave or pluck them out.

Be careful, as these practices can irritate the hair follicles, leading to infection, pain, and swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor.

2. Changes in moles: If you have a large number of moles, you must pay more attention and ask your family or doctor to check the changes in moles regularly. Keep in mind their size and location, and while not all changes are bad, they are worth paying attention to.

About half of skin cancers develop from long-standing or pre-existing moles, and the other 50% occur on normal skin.

Moles can change a lot during a person's life. In most cases, these changes are insignificant, but to be safe, you should let your doctor know if a mole changes. You should pay special attention if a mole changes:

a. It will bulge or fade after a period of time.

b. The area around the mole will fade. The size and color of a mole will change during pregnancy. After giving birth, the color of the mole will return, but it may take some time. However, skin cancer can occur during pregnancy, so it's best to see a doctor to be on the safe side.

c. New moles, especially those that appear after the age of 40.

d. The mole becomes larger or itchy.

e. Changes in color, such as a mole that becomes darker, blacker, or turns between brown and pink.

f. The mole becomes uneven, blurred, or irregular in appearance.

g. The mole bleeds or oozes fluid.

Mole removal methods

1. Cauterization

Use electric burning to carbonize it at high temperature. However, the degree of burning is difficult to control and it is easy to leave scars!

2. Excision method

Direct removal of the diseased tissue of the mole. The disadvantage is that it is difficult, but there are many ways to deal with it.

3. Corrosion method

Use chemical corrosion and alkaline solution.

4. Freezing method

Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze melanocytes, causing them to become blisters that fall off on their own.

5. Laser mole removal

Laser is used to instantly release huge energy to act on pigmented tissue, causing the pigment to break up and decompose, and then be swallowed up by macrophages and excreted from the body, thus achieving the purpose of removing pigment.

6. Skin Grafting

Local transplantation suture after resection.

I believe everyone understands. Finally, I need to remind everyone that the chance of moles becoming cancerous is quite low. Generally, hairy moles will not become diseased, so there is no need to panic. However, moles that are exposed all year round and frequently rubbed are more likely to develop cancer. So everyone still needs to pay attention to the moles on their body.
