Acne on a mole

Normally, a mole is relatively smooth, like the skin, without any protrusions. But what if acne appears on a mole? It is relatively rare for acne to grow on a mole, but if it happens, you should consider the occurrence of inflammatory mole. Moles are generally benign and are unlikely to become malignant. If acne grows on a mole, you should consider removing it and choose a professional hospital to perform the surgery.

1. What is the reason for acne on a mole?

It could be an inflammatory nevus. Pigmented nevus is a common benign tumor of the skin. Generally speaking, if it does not grow larger, increase in number or ulcerate, it will not affect health. There is currently inflammation on the mole, so you need to be alert to abnormal differentiation. It is recommended that you go to a dermatologist and use methods such as carbon dioxide laser or liquid nitrogen freezing to remove it.

2. Causes and prevention of melanin nevus

Ultraviolet rays are a major cause of melanin formation. In daily life, if you do sun protection while performing whitening care, you can effectively inhibit the formation of melanin. Because during whitening care, the melanin that has already been produced can be slowly eliminated, and sunscreen can help the skin inhibit the production of new melanin. By using good sunscreen products to protect the skin's basal layer and dermis from damage by ultraviolet rays and not stimulating the activity of tyrosinase, the production of melanin can be inhibited. The slow alternation of new and old cuticles is also one of the reasons for the formation of melanin. Therefore, regular exfoliation is very helpful for whitening the skin. The acidic substances added to many whitening products can help peel off aging cuticles and remove melanin.

3. Prevention and treatment of melanocytic nevus

You can also improve your skin tone through diet. For example, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, increase the intake of antioxidant foods, and consume more foods rich in vitamin C. Chemical experiments have shown that the series of reactions that form melanin are mostly oxidation reactions, but when vitamin C is added, the formation of melanin can be blocked. Therefore, eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as sour jujube, fresh jujube, tomatoes, sea buckthorn, citrus, fresh green leafy vegetables, etc.

Medically, melanocytic nevus is a benign tumor and generally does not require treatment. For patients who want to remove melanin nevus, it is best to choose a dermatologist for treatment, which is more reliable. Commonly used treatment methods include surgical resection, laser therapy, and radiofrequency knife resection.
