Question
Looking at the position and size of your mole, the best method would be to surgically remove the mole. We would then be able to send it to the lab for histological analysis as well.
Given it’s location, it will be virtually scarless after the initial healing phase.
The procedure is done as a day surgery one, under local anaesthesia and light sedation (if you wish). It is Medisave claimable.
Best regards,
Dr Samuel Ho
I completely agree with Dr Samuel Ho. Please consult for surgical removal, and sending it for histology might be useful.
Hello AZ Thank you for your question. You should definitely consult a doctor first to get an accurate diagnosis. There are many different types of moles and it is important to make sure the mole is a benign and harmless one before deciding on removal.
If you are planning to excise the mole using surgical method, then your alternatives are : 1. Plastic Surgeons (facial, body and burns surgeons who specialize on reconstruction and aesthetic surgery) 2. Facial Plastic Surgeons (ENT surgeons who specialize in facial reconstruction and/or aesthetic surgery) 3. Oral-Maxillo-Facial Surgeons (Oral Maxillo Facial dental specialist surgeons who specialize in facial reconstruction and/or aesthetic surgery) These 3 would be your best bets, do call up to check prices first after googling for a suitable surgeon.
