The doctor advises to remove the birthmark

signs2“A dermatologist urges me to remove an ugly mouse, which I have on my cheek. My mother, however, advises against this procedure. Is he right?”

The so -called mouse is often simply a regular dye birthmary, Just like the spots on the skin and freckles. However, there are such changes, of which, Unfortunately, A malignant tumor may develop. If a dermatologist, who watched the "Mouse", she firmly urges you to remove it, should be suspected, that this change may have some features, which are concerned. So I would advise you to report to the surgeon as soon as possible and remove it. I would like to emphasize, that the myth about the harmfulness of such treatments is certainly false, There is no evidence of this, that the excision of the "mouse" could be associated with any risk.

After removing the lesion on the skin, it remains small, almost invisible to the environment, scar. Usually, the surgeon tries to limit it to a minimum – not, that the cosmetic defect would be as low as possible.

In case of any doubts, I suggest you seek the advice of an oncologist and comply with his advice.
