Surgical Same-day where suitable

Mole removal in Dodoma

See it, treat it. A mole is examined, and if removal is right, it is done in the same visit under local anaesthetic, with the tissue sent for analysis where needed.

Expert mole removal and aftercare

Every mole is first looked at under magnification. Harmless moles that catch on clothing or that you would rather not have are removed with a technique chosen for the finest scar. Any mole that looks irregular is removed in full and sent to the laboratory.

How it works here

  1. Book a consultation online or on WhatsApp.
  2. The dermatologist examines you and writes a plan with prices.
  3. Treatment starts the same day where suitable.

What is mole removal?

A mole is a cluster of pigment cells in the skin. Most people have between ten and forty, and almost all are harmless. Some are raised, some flat, some grow hair.

A mole deserves a check when it is new in adulthood, changing in size, shape or colour, has an irregular edge, itches, bleeds or looks different from the others. On deeper skin, melanoma most often appears on the palms, soles and under the nails, so those sites are checked too.

Why treat it

Medical reasons

A changing or irregular mole must be removed and examined to rule out skin cancer, which is curable when caught early.

Confidence and comfort

Moles that catch on razors, collars or jewellery, or that you simply do not want, can be removed cleanly.

The process

From assessment to results

Dermatoscopic examination of the mole and a check of the rest of your skin. The dermatologist explains whether removal is advised, which technique, and what the scar will look like.

Assessment

Surgery

In the clinic, usually the same visit:

  • Local anaesthetic numbs the area in minutes
  • Shave removal for raised harmless moles, or excision with fine stitches for flat or suspicious ones
  • About twenty to thirty minutes
  • A small dressing, and you go home
Recovery

Keep the area dry for a day, then wash gently. Stitches come out in seven to fourteen days. Sun protection on the scar for six months keeps it from darkening.

Histology

Where the tissue is sent for analysis, results take about seven to ten days and are explained to you by phone or at review. Harmless results are reassuring; anything else is acted on immediately.

Questions

Patients ask

Ask your own question on WhatsApp

Does mole removal hurt?

The injection of anaesthetic stings for a few seconds. After that you feel pressure only.

Will it leave a scar?

Any cut leaves a mark. The technique is chosen for the smallest one, and most fade to a thin line. On deeper skin we take extra care to prevent keloids and darkening.

Can it really be done the same day?

Usually, yes, if the examination supports removal and you are not on blood thinners that need planning.

Do you send every mole to the laboratory?

Every mole with any irregular feature, yes. Plainly harmless moles removed for comfort are sent on request.

Can I have several removed at once?

Yes. Additional moles in the same visit are priced separately and listed above.

When should I not wait?

If a mole is bleeding, growing quickly, has several colours or an irregular edge, book this week.
