Moles

A mole is a small growth on the skin that is typically round or oval in shape. Moles can be any shade of brown, black, pink, red, or skin-colored. They are usually found on the face, neck, arms, and legs, but can be found anywhere on the body. Moles can be present at birth or may develop later in life

While most moles are harmless, it is important to monitor them for any changes in size, shape, or color, as this can be a sign of skin cancer. If you notice any changes in your moles or any new moles that appear after the age of 25, it is important to consult a dermatologist for an evaluation.

Moles are usually benign and do not require treatment. However, if a mole is bothersome or unsightly, it can be removed for cosmetic reasons. Moles can also be removed if they are cancerous or if there is a concern that they may become cancerous.
