What Are the Signs That My Mole Removal Procedure Has Gone Wrong?

Thousands of mole removal treatments are successfully performed in the UK each year with no major complications. However, some patients do suffer as a result of negligent procedures, resulting in considerable distress.

Common complications that indicate errors have been made can include:

• Damage to the patient’s skin pigment around or on the site of the mole
• Inappropriate scarring
• Burns and blistering

FAQs about mole removal compensation claims

What are the common methods used to remove moles, and what are their associated risks?

There are various ways you can get a mole removed, each comes with its own benefits, as well as potential risks:

• Shave excision: while this typically results in minimal scarring, there's a possibility of regrowth if cells beneath the surface remain.​
• Surgical excision: with a margin of surrounding healthy skin cut out, this approach provides complete removal - but may lead to more noticeable scarring.​
• Laser treatment: potential risks include incomplete removal, scarring, pigmentation changes, infection, and the possibility of missing a malignant diagnosis.

Can mole removal procedures lead to keloid scars?

Sometimes procedures do result in raised and thickened areas of skin that can spread beyond the original wound - these are known as keloid scars. If you have a history of keloids, or a darker skin tone, you may be more susceptible. If keloid scarring is significantly outside the normal range expected for the type of surgery you had performed, and the surgeon did not adequately discuss this potential complication with you beforehand, you may have the basis for a claim. 

Can a botched cosmetic mole removal increase the risk of skin cancer?

It's important to remember that most moles are harmless, and a poorly executed cosmetic mole removal won't directly elevate your risk of developing skin cancer. However, it can have significant implications if the mole was suspicious or had the characteristics of malignancy. This can result in an existing skin cancer, such as melanoma, going undiagnosed and untreated, potentially allowing the disease to progress.​
