A mole is a kind of formation on our skin. She is responsible for her pigmentation and also for the formation of tan. Contrary to all the horror stories and myths told about moles, they themselves are not dangerous. However, they are not recommended to be damaged or torn off ... But what will happen if you still damage it? In this article we will talk about what will happen in this case, and what to do if you have ripped off a mole.
What happens if you rip off a mole?This is the most common tumor. It does not grow, much less cause any harm to humans ... for the time being! And this very time comes exactly when we damage our moles. When I was in the hospital, I heard in the hallway a casual conversation between a woman and a nurse (apparently, they were friends or relatives). She asked the health worker what to do if he had removed a mole, and also asked what it posed to. I could not hear everything that the nurse said, but among other things, she drew attention to the fact that the damaged tumor can increase in size, as well as become inflamed and even fester. According to the physician, the worst-case scenario of all this is the appearance of a neoplasm called "melanoma." It is nothing but skin cancer.
Of course, I am not a doctor, but I will be able to provide you with information on this subject. Fortunately, such a development of events described above is not always the case. Here it all depends on the nature of the given mole. After all, they all differ in their size, shape and, most importantly, the degree of danger. It is logical to assume that the larger it is, the more it protrudes above the surface of the skin, the more likely it is.
What to do if tore off a mole?
Why are moles so "moody"?
The thing is that our moles contain special cells of directed action, which are responsible for the development of an even tan. And if they suddenly get into our blood (and even in large quantities), then, of course, the likelihood of developing skin cancer increases by many times. That is why it is extremely dangerous to rip off or independently remove (even medically) moles.
What to do if damaged a mole?
First you need to stop the bleeding. For this, the mole should be moistened with hydrogen peroxide, then pressed with dry gauze, folded in several layers, for 15 minutes. After this, urgently go to the doctor! If you don’t know which one, contact your therapist. He will direct you to the desired "address".
