About Mole Removal
Moles are common skin growths made up of pigment-producing cells. They can be flat or raised and vary in size and color. Most moles are harmless, but changes in a mole’s appearance can sometimes be a sign of skin cancer, so checking them regularly is important.
Mole Evaluation & Removal Q&A
Why Evaluation Matters
A dermatology provider can determine whether a mole is benign or if it needs closer evaluation. Signs
that a mole should be checked include changes in size, shape, color, or texture, or if it becomes itchy,
painful, or bleeds. Early evaluation helps catch potential problems when they are most treatable.

What to Expect
During your visit, your provider will:
- Examine your mole and surrounding skin
- Discuss any changes you’ve noticed
- Recommend the best approach — whether monitoring, biopsy, or removal
If removal is recommended, the mole is typically sent for analysis to check for abnormal cells.
