It's believed that exposure to sun plays some role to the development of certain varieties of moles.
High incidence of skin cancer may be ascribed to this kind of moles.
There are a few reasons that prompt people to get rid of moles.
Primarily, though most go for their removal because of their unsightly looks.
Moles that cause irritation of the skin need to be removed, like the pre-cancerous moles.
There are different techniques for removal of moles.
One way is known as excision that involves its cutting with stitches.
The other is called excision with cauterization in which case it is burnt.
Lasers are also employed to get rid of moles.
Use of lasers means there is no cutting.
Instead, supply to blood vessels contained in the mole is stopped causing it to fall off the skin.
As lasers can't penetrate too deep roots, they are helpful in removing superfluous moles only.
And, finally we have what is called shaving.
This procedure is again helpful for removing superfluous moles, that is those, which are on the surface only, and makes use of scalpel to chafe the mole.
Anesthetics are used to avoid risks.
But, this procedure of mole removal would generally leave a scar on the affected part.

Moreover, there is no guarantee that the moles wouldn't appear at the same spot even if they have been removed once.
Therefore, if there is no health risk involved due moles, it may be worthwhile to opt for one of the many natural ways of removing them.
