Moles are raised, dark skin lesions that can appear at birth or develop later. They are typically benign and stable over time.

Concerns:

• New moles appearing suddenly.
• Existing moles increasing in size.
• Pain, bleeding, or ulceration of a mole.
• Irregular or asymmetrical borders.

Action:

• Consult a dermatologist promptly. We use specialized dermoscopy to assess moles for suspicious features and can remove them if necessary.

Removal Methods:

Depending on the case, we remove moles using:

• Electrocauterization
• Radiofrequency excision
• Surgical excision with minimal scarring under local anesthesia

After removal, we examine the mole microscopically to confirm it is benign.
