Mole Removal

Moles-skin tag.

A mole is a small skin blemish that may be raised. A high concentration of melanin makes the mole darker than the surrounding skin. Moles are very common, especially in adults with light skin. The vast majority of moles are benign (not dangerous), but a change in a mole may be an early sign of melanoma, so it’s important to keep a close eye on your moles. A regular skin check by your family doctor or dermatologist is a great idea, especially if you have many moles or have a family history of skin cancer.
If one of your moles starts to grow, itch or bleed, you can contact us for a rapid assessment of the lesion, with the added convenience of an immediate removal or biopsy of the mole if desired. If your mole is benign but very conspicuous, or if it irritates you on a daily basis — for example, by interfering with shaving or rubbing up against clothing — you may want to have it removed simply for cosmetic reasons.
