Is this you?

Why people have a mole removed

Moles are very common and usually harmless, with most adults having between 10 and 40. Genetics largely decide how many you have, although sun exposure, especially excessive UV, can increase the number of moles and affect how they look. People usually come to us for one of these reasons.

It is raised and catches on your razor when you shave
It rubs on a bra strap, collar or waistband
It catches on jewellery or clothing and gets sore
It is on your face or neck and you would rather it was not
You want it removed and sent to a laboratory to be checked

The usual method is shave removal: the area is numbed, the raised mole is shaved off level with the skin with a scalpel, and the site is cauterised to stop bleeding. Dr Ouali will recommend the right method for your mole at consultation, based on its size, position and appearance.

Good to know

A changing mole needs checking. Asymmetry, an irregular border, uneven colour, a diameter over 6mm, or any change in a mole should be assessed by a professional.
Itching, bleeding or scabbing are also reasons to have a mole looked at.
Shave removal can leave some of the mole behind. It flattens the mole rather than cutting it out with a margin, so it can grow back.
Where cancer is a concern, full excision is preferred. The mole is cut out with a margin of healthy skin and stitched.

What happens

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them

It starts with a free video call with the surgeon who will remove the mole.

1

Free video consultation

A video call with Dr Ouali. He looks at the mole, explains which method he would use and why, covers the risks, and gives you your price.

No charge, no obligation
2

Decide in your own time

Nothing is booked on the call. If you go ahead, a 50% deposit holds your date, or you can pay in full. Face-to-face beforehand can be arranged, and is charged separately.

Entirely your call
3

The procedure

10 to 30 minutes under local anaesthetic. The mole is shaved off level with the skin and the site is cauterised. You go home shortly afterwards.

Day case
4

Healing

A dark scab forms and usually falls off within 7 to 10 days. A small pink mark is left at first, which usually fades as the skin settles.

7 to 10 days

The part most adverts leave out

This is still surgery

However minor the procedure, complications are possible, and you should understand them before you go ahead. Dr Ouali will go through them with you at your consultation.

Expect mild tenderness for a few days. Keep the wound covered for the first 24 to 48 hours and wait at least 48 hours before getting it wet. Showering is typically safe after two days, but avoid soaking in baths, pools or hot tubs until fully healed, usually a few weeks. Avoid sun exposure, as UV rays can darken the scar. The recognised risks are:

Infection
Scarring
Bleeding and bruising
Changes in skin sensation
Recurrence
Allergic reaction
Misdiagnosis

Before you book anywhere

Whoever you choose, these are worth asking:

Who will actually remove the mole, and are they a doctor?
What is their GMC number?
Can the mole be sent for laboratory analysis?
What is included in the price, and what is not?
What happens if the mole grows back?
Is the clinic registered with the Care Quality Commission?

Questions

What people ask before they book

Is the video consultation really free?

Yes. The video consultation is with Dr Ouali himself, it is free, and there is no obligation. If you would rather be seen in person before you decide, a face-to-face appointment can be arranged, and that one is charged separately.

Can the NHS remove my mole for free?

Usually only if there is a medical reason, such as a suspicion of skin cancer, or if the mole is causing real problems. Removal for cosmetic reasons is not normally covered.

How do I know which method is right for me?

Dr Ouali assesses the mole at your consultation and recommends a method based on its size, position, appearance and any medical concerns.

Can a mole grow back after it is removed?

A mole fully cut out with a margin of healthy skin should not grow back. Shave removal flattens the mole rather than removing all of it, so it can return. Full excision is preferred where there is a cancer concern. Shave removal is often chosen for cosmetic reasons, accepting that small risk.

How should I check my moles?

Look at them regularly for changes in size, shape, colour or texture. Watch for more than one colour, rough or irregular edges, and any redness, itching, bleeding, inflammation or crusting. A change does not always mean melanoma, but it should be checked.

How often should my moles be checked?

We recommend reviewing your moles monthly. People at higher risk of skin cancer, such as those with many moles, fair skin or a history of skin cancer, may need checking more often. If you notice a change in between, get it looked at promptly.

How do I pay if I go ahead?

You pay a 50% deposit to hold your date, or the full amount if you would rather settle it in one go. There is no in-house finance.
