Facial skin blemishes and moles often increase in size and number with aging. In most instances, their removal has purely cosmetic significance. Sometimes, however, they may represent early skin cancer and they should be excised at an early stage when they are still curable. Depending on the character of the lesion,various methods of treatment, leaving minimal signs of surgical interference or no signs of surgery whatsoever, can be used. At times,laser resurfacing to camouflage the scars or dermabrasion (sanding of the area where the lesion was shaved off) will be used (Fig.32) for the best aesthetic result. A popular belief, from years gone by, about various skin blemishes changing into cancer if "tampered" with surgically is scientifically and totally incorrect. Most of these lesion swill never change into cancer and those that are more potentially cancerous must be treated as early as possible.Regardless, the nature of the skin blemish, all of them, when removed, are subjected to detailed microscopic examination to make a reliable diagnosis.
