Comprehensive Care for Moles

Moles, or nevi, are clusters of pigmented cells that can vary in size, shape, and color. While typically harmless, some moles may show changes, such as irregular borders or itching, which could require medical evaluation. Our dermatologists specialize in accurately assessing and treating moles with personalized care.

What You Should Know About Moles

Make Appointment

Moles are common skin growths composed of pigmented cells. While most are benign, some moles may evolve into irregular shapes, become asymmetrical, or exhibit other concerning signs that require further examination. Our dermatologists ensure that what you think is a mole is correctly identified, as some skin lesions may mimic moles but differ significantly in nature.

When to Worry About Moles

Changes in a mole that may indicate a need for medical attention include:

  • Irregular Borders: Uneven or poorly defined edges.
  • Color Variations: Different shades of brown, black, red, or other colors within the mole.
  • Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other.
  • Size Changes: A mole growing larger than 6 millimeters.
  • Itching or Bleeding: New or persistent irritation or bleeding.

Effective Solutions for Mole Removal

Excision

Excision is a precise method to remove moles, especially those suspected of being cancerous. The area is numbed with local anesthesia, and the mole is carefully cut out using a scalpel. Stitches may be required, depending on the depth, and this method often leaves minimal scarring.

Shave Removal

Shave removal is ideal for smaller, raised moles. After numbing the area, the dermatologist uses a blade to shave the mole flush with the skin’s surface. No stitches are needed, and scarring is minimal.

Laser Removal

For benign pigmented lesions mistakenly identified as moles, laser techniques may be employed. This method uses focused light energy to break down pigment within the lesion.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves freezing small, superficial growths with liquid nitrogen. The frozen tissue eventually falls off, allowing new skin to regenerate. This method is effective for certain benign lesions.

The Mole Removal Journey: What to Expect

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

Our dermatologists perform a thorough examination of your skin to evaluate the mole and determine if removal is necessary. They may also discuss any concerns or symptoms you’ve noticed.

Step 2: Tailored Treatment

Based on the mole’s type and location, we will recommend the most appropriate removal technique, whether excision, shave removal, laser treatment, or cryotherapy.

Step 3: Post-Removal Care

Following removal, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and scarring, and follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor results.

Dr Schilling is amazing! She explains everything to me.Her exams are thorough and she takes care of minor problems immediately.

My visit was efficiently organized with no excessive waiting at any stage. The facility is conveniently located with ample parking and the office/patient rooms clean and well furnished. Dr Patel was helpful, thorough and explained everything I asked about. Some time after my most recent scheduled visit, I experienced some discomfort so I called and was very promptly seen, evaluated and treated
