What Is a Mole and When Should It Be Removed?

What Is a Mole?

Moles, or nevi, are clusters of pigmented skin cells that can appear anywhere on the body. Most are harmless, but some may warrant removal due to medical or cosmetic reasons.

When Should You Consider Mole Removal?

• Cosmetic Concerns: Moles in visible or irritating locations (e.g., face, neck, under bra straps) can affect appearance or comfort.
• Suspicious Changes: Any mole that changes in size, shape, color, or texture should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
• Irritation or Discomfort: Moles that itch, bleed, or cause friction may require removal.

How Does Mole Removal Work at Shine Dermatology?

Step 1: Dermatological Evaluation

We begin with a thorough skin exam using a high-resolution dermatoscope to assess your mole. If necessary, we perform a biopsy to rule out skin cancer.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Removal Method

We select the best method based on your mole’s characteristics and your preferences:

Does Mole Removal Hurt?
