The mole becomes bigger and darker after laser mole removal

The problem of moles bothers many people, especially the phenomenon of moles growing in special positions on the face, which has the greatest impact. For example, moles above the mouth or above the nose will affect the image. To remove moles, you can choose to use laser mole removal, which is efficient, fast and has few side effects. However, some people’s moles become bigger and darker after laser mole removal. What’s going on? Let’s take a look at the explanation below. People who have experienced this phenomenon can come and learn about it.

Laser mole removal utilizes this characteristic of laser to act on pigmented tissue, remove or destroy the tissue, break up and decompose the pigment, and allow it to be swallowed up by macrophages, thus achieving the purpose of removing the mole.

Some moles have the potential to become cancerous. Especially in areas subject to friction. Therefore, mole removal has both aesthetic issues and medical significance.

The canceration of moles is caused by irritation. If the mole is removed superficially, it cannot be eradicated and it will be a strong stimulation that will promote the canceration of the mole. If the wound is deep, it will easily become inflamed and leave obvious scars. From the perspective of oncology, "mole removal" is not recommended. It is best not to remove moles on the skin by surgical excision.

Considering that the laser treatment has not fully healed after half a month, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. The most likely possibility is an intradermal nevus rather than a pigmented nevus. Close observation is recommended. In fact, such a nevus is not suitable for nevus removal with medication. Now that the mole has been removed, the enlargement of the mole is mainly due to the edema of the mole caused by the drug.

Pigmented nevus is a skin manifestation caused by an increase in melanocytes in the epidermis and dermis. You should go to a dermatologist, or even get a pathology done. Prevent malignant transformation. For benign moles generally in the epidermis and dermis, laser mole removal can be achieved. Attention should be paid to care after the laser surgery. If there is a mole that may become malignant, laser surgery cannot be used. Surgical removal or electric ion cauterization is recommended.
