Acrochordons, commonly known as “hanging moles”, are small, benign skin protuberances that usually appear in areas where the skin wrinkles, such as the neck, armpits or groin. Although they are not dangerous, some patients choose to have them removed for aesthetic or comfort reasons. Our private clinics in Montreal, Longueuil and Laval offer a variety of acrochordon treatment methods performed by experienced physicians in a safe environment.
Acrochordons usually appear as small, flesh-colored or slightly dark, hanging skin protuberances, attached to the skin by a thin pedicle. They may be single or multiple, and generally vary in size from a few millimeters to a centimeter. Although benign, acrochordons can sometimes cause itching, irritation or bleeding if rubbed or hooked.
Acrochordons generally pose no serious health risks. However, they can sometimes bleed or become infected if accidentally rubbed or torn. It is therefore advisable to have them treated by a qualified health professional to avoid complications.

There are several treatment options for acrochordons, including cryotherapy (freezing), cauterization, electrocoagulation and surgical excision. The choice of treatment depends on the size, location and number of acrochordons to be treated, as well as the patient's preferences.
Treatments for acrochordons are generally safe and well tolerated. However, minor risks such as bleeding, scarring, infection or changes in skin pigmentation may occur. Our medical team will inform you of the precautions to take before and after treatment to minimize these risks.
Treatment times vary according to the method used and the number of acrochordons to be treated. However, most procedures are relatively quick, usually taking between 15 and 45 minutes.
The level of pain or discomfort experienced during acrochordon treatment varies according to the method used and the patient's individual sensitivity. Some techniques, such as cryotherapy or cauterization, may cause slight discomfort or a temporary burning sensation. Our medical team will take care to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
Although treatment of acrochordons is generally effective, there is a risk of recurrence. The likelihood of recurrence depends on individual factors such as age, genetic predisposition and hormonal changes. Our doctors can advise you on measures to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Several factors are taken into account to determine the best treatment option, including the size and location of the acrochordons, the number to be treated, the patient's general state of health, and his or her preferences and expectations in terms of results and risks.
Yes, it is quite possible to treat several acrochordons in the same session, depending on the technique used and the location of the lesions. Our doctors will assess the situation and determine the number of acrochordons that can be safely treated.
Healing time after acrochordon treatment varies according to the method used and the area treated, but is generally short, from a few days to a week. Appropriate local care can accelerate healing and prevent complications.
After treatment, we recommend keeping the area clean and dry, applying antibiotic ointment if necessary, and avoiding excessive friction. Our medical team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to ensure optimal healing.
In most cases, a single treatment is enough to completely eliminate an acrochordon. However, if it recurs, or if new acrochordons appear, additional treatments may be required. Our doctors will assess your situation and determine the number of sessions required.
