Can dermatologists cut moles off? what do they use?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: See your doctor to find out if a biopsy needs to be done first. If it is cancerous they can remove it simply by excising and cauterizing, moh's procedure or wide excision depending on the pathology. Rarely is there a need for sutures, .
