in the treatment of all benign and some precancerous skin lesions

Moles are benign melanocyte-derived tumors and are seen in 1% of cases in the first year of life. /p>
These are called congenital moles. After the first years of life, their numbers gradually increase over the years, depending on the UV-sun damage they are exposed to.

, laser treatment of moles that are thought to be completely benign may be possible
. It is also possible to treat congenital moles with laser, and ablative Erbium laser, CO2
laser and pigmented Q-switch laser can be used in the treatment. Especially laser treatment of congenital moles larger than 20 cm in diameter is recommended because the risk of large congenital moles turning into malignant malignant
Melanoma has been reported to be 6%.
In itself/ Laser mole removal is not recommended for people with a family history of melanoma and people with Dysplastic Nevus syndrome. To date, the development of cancer after laser mole removal has not been reported in the medical literature.
