Frequently Asked Questions

Can a mole be removed on the NHS?
Your GP can refer you to see an NHS dermatologist who may decide to remove your mole if they believe it may have cancerous or abnormal cells. It will then be examined under a microscope to confirm a diagnosis. If however, you would like your mole removed for cosmetic reasons, or any other reason that is not associated with an underlying disease, the NHS does not offer this service routinely. At Altruderm, we conduct thorough mole checks using the dermoscopy (magnification) technique, and, if upon examination Dr. McDaid has concerns about a mole he would encourage you to go to your GP to be referred into the NHS for assessment. We regularly send our mole removal specimens to a private pathology service to ensure your peace of mind and confirm our benign diagnosis.
Can I get rid of a mole by myself?

While it may seem harmless enough, it is in fact potentially very dangerous to do this. This should be done by a medical professional with training in identifying the signs of skin cancer. Dr. McDaid’s knowledge in dermoscopy allows him to use magnification to assess the features of any lesions he examines. Lesions or moles with worrying features should be removed in a specific way that allows the specimen to be thoroughly examined in a pathology lab ensuring the correct diagnosis and treatment can be given.

Do moles grow back after being removed?

Moles can grow back after being removed if some of the mole cells remain under the skin. In some instances, hairs from the mole may continue to grow if the follicle remains. Epilation (destruction of hair follicles) can be carried out in the clinic post procedure once your pathology results have been returned.
