Hanging moles on the neck and other parts of the body

In the 18th century, a mole or "fly" was an indispensable ornament of every self-respecting coquette. Ladies of that time believed that the lucky owners of birthmarks marked the sign of Venus itself. And in our time, a sweet birthmark can be an indisputable attribute of beauty and sexuality. But, unfortunately, not all education on the body is aesthetically pleasing and safe for the health of their owner.

Hanging moles on the neck and other parts of the body - the reason for the inconvenience of many people. The dermal processes have the shape of a papilla, and sometimes resemble a fungus. The palette of shades of moles can be the most diverse, as well as their size. However, it is not entirely correct to call all dermal neoplasms moles - this is rather a household name. The medical concept of "nevus" implies all pigmented skin formations and refers to all birthmarks and birthmarks . The nevus (acquired or congenital), as a rule, has a benign nature. But there are risk groups that require mandatory observation from a dermatologist.

The risk groups include people:

• With a large number of hanging moles on the body;
• If the size of skin lesions is more than 5 mm;
• With red hair and very fair skin;
• With age spots;
• Pregnant women.

You do not need to panic, try to guess from what appear hanging moles, diagnose yourself or, even worse, engage in self-medication. The causes of the formation of moles are great and not necessarily to blame for oncology. To establish the correct diagnosis it is necessary to undergo a series of examinations: a blood test for biochemistry, blood sugar, cholesterol and other indicators, to make ultrasound of internal organs.

There are no places on the body where a birthmark can not be formed. They can be located anywhere: on the face, in the axillary areas, under the chest, in the groin and even the anal area, but most often there are hanging moles on the neck. The finding of such education in some places gives a purely physical inconvenience. Specialists recommend removing hanging moles where they can be subjected to various mechanical damages.

It does not matter for what reason it is decided to remove the birthmark - physical discomfort or cosmetic defect. To choose how to remove a hanging mole, and what is the best way to carry out this removal, it is better to entrust professionals - cosmetologists and dermatologists. Now many different methods of eliminating hanging moles are available: electrocoagulation, radio-wave coagulation, laser or surgical removal, cryodestruction (liquid nitrogen). It is extremely undesirable to remove hanging moles on the neck with "grandmother's" means, like rubbing the appendages on the skin with celandine or cauterizing with iodine. If damaged, there is a real threat of the degeneration of a benign mole in malignant melanoma. This is a serious disease, more commonly known as skin cancer, and of course, it is easier to prevent than treat.

A few simple rules for the prevention of melanoma:

• Do not abuse the influence of ultraviolet radiation on moles and birthmarks (especially in those formations that are not hidden under clothing - hanging moles on the neck, face, palms, etc .;
• Avoid any mechanical damage to moles;
• Regularly monitor changes in the usual condition of hanging moles.

Signs, when you need to see an urgent need to see a doctor:

• The mole increased in size;
• Any birthmark seal;
• The birthmark changed color;
• Unpleasant sensations in the field of a birthmark, itching;
• The mole bleeds;
• The skin on the birthmark was stretched, the skin pattern disappeared;
• Significantly increased the total number of moles on the body.

In the event that the birthmark was damaged, it broke, you need to treat it with hydrogen peroxide, and go to a medical institution. There the traumatized birthmark is removed and sent for histological examination. If the mole is separated from the skin completely, it must be attributed to the analysis, wrapped in a sterile napkin or bandage, soaked in saline.

To tighten with the reference to the doctor it is not necessary. The earlier the problem is discovered, of course, if it exists, the faster and more successfully it can be eradicated.
