What are Moles?

Moles are dark growths composed of pigment cells on the skin that typically form because of a genetic predisposition to get them and because of sun exposure. Many moles are not a medical threat; however, some lesions may represent a risk for melanoma skin cancer. 

These higher-risk moles will have an irregular shape, have a dark or light discoloration, and will change, and should be evaluated to make sure they are not cancer-prone. If the decision is made to remove and analyze a mole, techniques are used to minimize scarring and achieve the best cosmetic result.

 Depending on the size or location of the mole, it may be a beauty mark or a distractingly lumpy lesion. Sometimes, if the mole is in an area of rubbing or shaving occurs, it may become irritated or infected. 

At Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Specialists, our doctors are trained and have years of experience to ensure effective mole removal, with a focus on minimizing scarring and maximizing the aesthetic outcome. Depending on the lesion or location, stitches may be necessary. 

What Can I Do About Them?

  • Congenital Nevi are moles that appear at birth. They occur in about 1% of all people and may be more likely to develop melanoma (cancer). A mole or freckle should be checked if it has a diameter of more than a pencil eraser or any characteristics of the ABCDEs of melanoma (see the skin cancer section for more details)

 

 

  • Dysplastic Nevi are moles that are irregular in shape and larger than average (larger than a pencil eraser). They tend to have uneven colors with dark brown centers and lighter, uneven edges. Any changes in a mole should be checked by one of our dermatologists to evaluate for skin cancer

How Do I Know if a Mole Is a Cancer?

The vast majority of moles are not dangerous; however, if you have moles and then notice one that looks different in size, color, or shape, you need to get it checked. Another thing to consider is if you do not have many moles and start to get some after the age of 30, have your doctor check them on your next regular check-up (provided they do not look suspicious). Additionally, if any of your moles begin to bleed, ooze, itch, or become tender or painful, have it checked.

Remember, if a mole does not change over time, there is little reason to be concerned. If you see any signs of change in an existing mole, if you have a new mole, or if you want a mole to be removed for cosmetic reasons…Call Us!
