Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body. They are typically brown or black in color, although they can vary in size, shape, and pigmentation.
At Precision Dermatology, we evaluate and monitor moles to ensure they are healthy and non-cancerous. While most moles are benign, changes in size, color, shape, or texture may indicate a potential issue, such as melanoma, a type of skin cancer.
Our dermatologists provide thorough mole evaluations, advanced imaging, and, if necessary, removal or biopsy to ensure your skin health and peace of mind.
Moles are common skin growths that are usually harmless but should be monitored for any changes. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about their causes, monitoring, and removal.
What causes moles to form?
Moles develop when skin cells grow in clusters rather than spreading evenly. Genetics and sun exposure play a significant role in their formation.
When should I be concerned about a mole?
You should consult a dermatologist if a mole changes in size, color, or shape, has irregular borders, becomes itchy or painful, or starts to bleed.
Are moles a sign of skin cancer?
Most moles are benign, but some can develop into melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. Regular skin checks help detect any suspicious changes early.
Can moles be removed?
Yes, moles can be removed for cosmetic reasons or if they show signs of abnormality. Removal options include surgical excision or shaving, often performed in a dermatologist’s office.
How can I prevent new moles from forming?
While you cannot completely prevent moles, limiting sun exposure, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding tanning beds can reduce the risk of developing new ones.
At Precision Dermatology we offer exceptional care for common and complex skin problems and provide a broad range of medical and surgical dermatology.
