How many times has that annoying spot turned up right before an important event or before your night out? It’s the same concept for moles – they can turn up out of nowhere – and stay for the foreseeable future.

A mole is a cluster of cells that can show up anywhere on the skin. Some moles are there since the day you’re born while others can develop at any time in your life.

The first thing you need to know is that they’re completely normal and can appear on anyone. Don’t let them shatter your confidence as they are a completely natural skin lesion and should not be ashamed of. However, if you really dislike the look of your moles, they can be removed. 

Let’s take a look into what causes moles and what your treatment options are.

 

Causes of Moles

Normal skin cells grow separately. Yet when cells start growing in a cluster, a mole develops. The good news is that most moles are harmless and non-cancerous. 

Moles that are present since birth are known as congenital naevi. It’s normal for them to grow in size as we grow older. You can also still get a mole on your skin if you weren’t born with one, but they usually occur before the age of 20 and eventually fade out. Moles are also capable of darkening in colour during pregnancy or when exposed to sunlight.

Is your mole cancerous?

Although most moles are benign, you still need to consult a doctor is your mole:

  • Feels itchy
  • Bleeds or starts flaking
  • Starts changing its shape
  • Feels painful
  • Becomes abnormally large or irregular

Treatment

Cyropen doesn’t use any form of invasive procedure to get rid of the mole. Based on cryotherapy, the CryoPen emits an extremely thin jet of nitrous oxide very accurately on the site of the mole. This ray is targeted at the mole and is under extremely high pressure at a low temperature.

The process is painless, safe, and doesn’t last more than a few minutes. In addition to moles, CryoPen can also be used to treat blemishes, warts, milia, age spots, verrucas, and skin tags.
