Can a removed mole reappear? Answers from Irvine Skin Experts | Irvine & California

 

Sometimes, people choose to have a mole removed for medical or cosmetic reasons. But what happens if the mole grows back? Is it something to worry about? Let’s explore the reasons behind mole regrowth and how Irvine Skin in California can help.


Why Do Moles Sometimes Grow Back?

When a mole is removed, the procedure typically targets the visible part of the mole above the skin. However, if some mole cells remain in the deeper layers of the skin, they might multiply and cause the mole to reappear.


This can happen for a few reasons:

1) Shaving vs. Full Removal: Some procedures, like shaving off a mole, may not remove all the mole cells deep under the skin.

2) Incomplete Removal: If the mole wasn’t entirely removed during the procedure, it may come back over time.

3) Skin Healing Process: In rare cases, the regrowth could simply be part of the natural healing process, especially if the skin forms pigmented tissue at the removal site.


Is Mole Regrowth a Cause for Concern?

While mole regrowth isn’t always a serious issue, it’s essential to monitor any changes. A regrown mole could sometimes signal abnormal cell activity, which might require attention.


How Irvine Skin Can Help

Dr. Parvin Shafa, with over 20 years of experience, will carefully examine the area to determine if the mole is harmless or needs further testing. We use precise techniques to remove moles completely, addressing both the surface and deep layers of the skin to reduce the chances of regrowth. If a mole shows unusual signs, we can perform a biopsy to check for any risks, such as melanoma.


What Should You Do if a Mole Comes Back?

If a mole grows back, it’s a good idea to have it checked. It might not be serious, but it’s better to be safe. Early detection of any problem makes treatment easier and more effective.
