Mole Removal
Moles are a very common type of skin growth that look like brown spots on the skin. Most people have about 10-40 moles, though some people can have over 50 moles. Most people develop moles through the age of 50 years old. Most moles are harmless and only very rarely become cancerous, but watching your moles carefully for changes over weeks to months is an important step in detecting skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma.
Moles can change in color or size over time and sometimes even disappear. Hormonal changes in the teenage years or during pregnancy can cause the moles to become darker or larger. If you need a mole removed for medical or cosmetic reasons, our experienced surgeons here at Dermatology Arts can help you remove the mole with minimal scarring.
