Moles and skin tags are usually benign, or noncancerous, but are sometimes unaesthetic or suspicious looking. When you need a mole checked out or removed, consult Dr. Murtuza, MD and the team at Cosmocare Dermatology of Dubai, UAE. With an emphasis on prevention, they can help identify moles that could be precancerous and treat them.
Moles are brown or black growths, usually round or oval, that can appear anywhere on the skin. They can be rough or smooth, flat or raised, single or in multiples. They occur when cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation, known as melanocytes, grow in clusters instead of being spread out across the skin. Generally, moles are less than one-quarter inch in size. Most moles appear by the age of 20, although some moles may appear later in life. Most adults have between 10 and 40 moles. Because they last about 50 years, moles may disappear by themselves over time.
Most moles are harmless, but a change in size, shape, color or texture could be indicative of a cancerous growth. Moles that have a higher-than-average chance of becoming cancerous include:
Moles present at birth. The larger their size, the greater the risk for developing into a skin cancer.
Irregularly shaped moles that are larger than average. They often appear to have dark brown centers with light, uneven borders.
People with 50 or more moles are at a greater risk for developing a skin cancer.
In some cases, abnormal moles may become painful, itchy, scaly or bleed. It's important to keep an eye on your moles so that you can catch any changes early. We recommend doing a visual check of your body monthly, including all areas that don't have sun exposure (such as the scalp, armpits or bottoms of feet).
Use the American Academy of Dermatology's ABCDEs as a guide for assessing whether or not a mole may be becoming cancerous:
Asymmetry: Half the mole does not match the other half in size, shape or color.
Border: The edges of moles are irregular, scalloped, or poorly defined.
Color: The mole is not the same color throughout.
Diameter: The mole is usually greater than 6 millimeters when diagnosed, but may also be smaller.
Evolving: A mole or skin lesion that is different from the rest, or changes in size, shape, or color.
If any of these conditions occur, please make an appointment to see one of our dermatologists right away. The doctor may do a biopsy of the mole to determine if it is or isn't cancerous and/or may surgically remove it.
Up until old age, our skin is able to regenerate itself. Only sometimes, it is missing the right stimulus..
Following treatment with the Solta Fraxel re:fine®, mild redness/swelling lasts for a maximum of ten hours and can be covered with makeup. Following treatment with the Solta Fraxel re:store® DUAL®, it is best to allow yourself three to four days of downtime while the skin is reddened and visibly peeling. Following treatment with the Palomar Star Lux 1440/1540™, the redness lasts for just one to two days, and there is significantly less peeling than with the Fraxel re:store®. After the more intensive treatment with the Palomar Star Lux 2940™ and the Solta Fraxel re:pair®, the skin bleeds and weeps – this is an intended reaction. You should allow yourself about one week for healing.
For the best result with the Solta Fraxel re:fine® and the Palomar Star Lux 1440/1540™, we recommend a cycle of four to six treatments at four-week intervals.
Even after the first application of the Solta Fraxel re:store DUAL®, sucessful results are visible. We recommend two to four treatments at four-week intervals. Treatment with the Palomar Star Lux 2940™ and the Solta Fraxel re:pair® generally does not need to be repeated
