Why do red moles appear on the body?
Red moles are formed by a large number of microscopic blood vessels (hemangiomas) and lymphatic vessels (lymphangiomas). The main reason for the appearance of red moles is dysfunction of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
The most common causes of angiomas on the body are:
Hormones: expert opinions hormonal changes in women (during pregnancy, taking oral contraceptives);- skin injuries;
- genetic characteristics of the organism;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas;
- long exposure to sunlight and frequent visits to the solarium.
What does the appearance of red moles on the body mean?
If red moles appear on the body, this may be a simple cosmetic defect, or it may indicate pathological processes occurring in the body. In some cases, the occurrence of angiomas indicates poor nutrition, prolonged exposure to the sun, and a sludge buildup in the body.
Red dots like moles may indicate increased estrogen levels in the body, liver dysfunction and increased insulin in the blood. In addition, in some cases, angiomas appear as a response of the body to a lack of iodine, magnesium, chromium, vitamins C and K.
Treatment at home using traditional methods
This type of treatment is undesirable; in special cases it is strictly prohibited, for example, if the mole is on the face or its progression is noted.
Self-medication can cause the following consequences:
- Bleeding;
- Suppuration;
- Sprawl;
- Scar.
At home, after consultation with a specialist, small moles can be treated at your own risk.
There are methods such as:
- Bandaging - the mole is bandaged with a thread at its base, thereby blocking the flow of blood into the angioma, which leads to its death. Adverse consequences can be different, from its reappearance to its transformation into melanoma;
- Folk recipes.
The most effective folk recipes:
- It is possible to remove a mole using celandine: smearing with plant juice 2-3 times a day;
- dry leaves of the plant are crushed and mixed with vegetable oil, allowed to brew for a week in a dark place, then smeared on the mole 2-3 times a day for 2-3 months;
- 100 grams of plant leaves are poured into 0.5 liters of alcohol, allowed to brew for a week in a dark place, filtered, then taken 3 times a day, 10-12 drops until the angioma completely disappears.
- castor and linseed oil;
Traditional medicine is probably a myth, but there are also positive cases.
What to do if red moles appear on the body?
If red moles appear on the body in large numbers, single angiomas increase in size, or trauma to the red mole occurs, you should consult a dermatologist. Diagnosis of angiomas that are located on the surface of the skin is usually done by visual examination and palpation.
If there is a suspicion of the presence of red moles in the internal organs, additional research will be required to detect them. Skeletal angiomas are determined using x-rays of the spine, ribs, pelvis, bones and skull. Angiography (contrast X-ray examination of blood vessels) allows identifying red moles in the lungs, kidneys, brain and other internal organs. The structure of the angioma and the features of its location are determined by ultrasound examination.
After the diagnosis, the dermatologist will determine whether it is necessary to treat the red mole. So, the absolute indication for removing red moles is their rapid growth.
In addition, indications for treatment of angiomas are:
- localization in the neck and head;
- disruption of the functioning of the internal organ in which the angioma is located;
- extensive tissue damage around the red mole.
Treatment of red moles involves their removal, which can be done in various ways. Treatment methods for angiomas include:
- laser therapy;
- radio wave method;
- cryotherapy (removal of angiomas using liquid nitrogen);
- diathermoelectrocoagulation (cauterization with electric current);
- hormone therapy;
- ligation of the arteries that feed the angioma;
- surgery.
Effective therapy for red moles can only be prescribed by a dermatologist. Treatment of angioma with folk remedies is not recommended.
Mole removal methods
You can get rid of moles growing on the penis as much as possible and without consequences using three methods:
- radio wave excision,
- laser therapy,
- traditional surgery.
The use of radio wave excision involves exposing the nevus to high-frequency current. It is formed by the installation, and then transferred to a special nozzle. It can be in the form of a metal loop or ball. The surgeon pre-treats the skin with a local anesthetic, then selects a nozzle depending on the scope of the upcoming tasks. He first cuts off the mole with a loop, then cauterizes the tissue located next to it with a ball. At the same time, coagulation of blood vessels, nerve receptors, and disinfection of the resulting wound are performed. The operation takes place quickly (15-20 minutes), without blood loss. The postoperative field is covered with scab. It provides reliable protection against the penetration of pathogenic bacteria. Natural healing processes take place underneath. The scab falls off on its own within a month, leaving a barely noticeable scar on the skin.
Laser exposure generates thermal radiation, which evaporates water from the cellular space. As a result, the tissues of the formation are destroyed, and at the same time the vessels and nerve endings are cauterized, which eliminates the possibility of bleeding and severe pain. This method is used to remove raised moles and to excise nevi growing on the glans penis (the most sensitive place in male flesh). During the operation, the surgeon has the ability to control the depth of laser penetration, so healthy tissue is not injured. The postoperative period is very short, the wound heals within a week, relapses are extremely rare.
Traditional surgery is very painful, so this operation is performed only under anesthesia. It lasts about an hour, after which stitches are placed on the wound. The postoperative period lasts a long time: during the first week, the patient undergoes antiseptic treatment of the sutures three times a day, followed by the application of a sterile bandage. The patient is taking a course of antibiotics. It prevents the attachment of a bacterial component. After seven days, the sutures are removed, and treatment of the wound continues for another week. Additionally, anti-inflammatory treatment is performed. Surgery is resorted to when there is a suspicion of the presence of malignancy processes. Laser therapy does not allow, after surgery, to obtain removed tissue for histological analysis.
Are red moles dangerous?
Unlike melanoma (a malignant tumor), angioma is a benign formation. Single red moles on the body that do not increase in size and do not cause discomfort do not require treatment and are not dangerous.
But in some cases, red moles can lead to complications. Internal angiomas, depending on their location, can cause shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, epilepsy, impaired vision and hearing. In addition, angiomas can lead to complications if:
- red mole growing;
- there is a possibility of injury;
- many red moles appeared on the body;
- there is a risk of the mole transforming into a malignant formation.
Hanging nevi
Hanging nevi in this area are neoplasms that have a bumpy surface and are attached to the skin on the pubis with a stalk. The shade of such pigmented neoplasms can be varied - from flesh-colored to dark brown. Sizes may also vary. Basically, such moles do not change throughout life and do not cause discomfort, but the danger of such neoplasms lies in the fact that they can be injured during depilation or completely cut off with a razor. As is known, any damage to the nevus can trigger the transformation of the benign cells that make up the nevus into malignant ones. Therefore, if you damage a nevus in the intimate area during depilation, you need to treat the damaged area with hydrogen peroxide to stop the bleeding, and monitor how the wound heals in the coming days. If there are no serious complications, the wound does not bleed or fester, then there is no threat to health. If the area from the cut pigment growth does not heal for a long time, it hurts, and bleeds, you need to see a doctor. It will be very good if you save the cut nevus to submit it for histological analysis.
With nevi in the intimate area, especially hanging ones, you should be careful and try to avoid damaging them.
Preventing the appearance of red moles
It is impossible to prevent the occurrence of congenital angiomas. A congenital red mole in a child is most often a short-term formation and disappears by the age of 5-7 years. Therefore, if the child does not complain of pain or itching in the area of the angioma, there is no need to worry.
In order to avoid the occurrence of angiomas after birth, it is necessary to follow these recommendations:
- avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and frequent visits to the solarium;
- follow a sleep and nutrition schedule;
- lead a healthy lifestyle.
If you have a red mole, it is important to monitor its development and contact a dermatologist at the first signs of injury or change in size. With timely consultation with a doctor, it is possible to prevent complications of angiomas and, if necessary, begin therapy on time.
