Mole Removal / Naevi & Mole Biopsy
We all get lumps, bumps and marks on our skin. Most are completely harmless. If we have however diagnosed an atypical more that is suspicious of being dysplastic, precancerous or cancerous (e.g. malignant melanoma), we need to take a biopsy in order to make an accurate diagnosis – and potentially save you from getting advanced forms of skin cancer.
Skin Biopsy or Mole Removal process
The biopsy is usually done under local anesthetic, directly at the clinic. An excisional biopsy ensures that at least 2-3 mm are taken from around the mole to prevent any dangerous cells from being left behind in the skin. The wound is then either left open (for tiny biopsies), or sutured expertly to allow faster healing.
