Moles
Comprehensive mole evaluation and monitoring to protect your skin health and detect changes early.
About Moles
Moles are common benign growths that can appear during childhood, adolescence and early adulthood. Moles are usually round, flat or slightly raised brown lesions, but can be tan, red, black, pink, blue or colorless. Some moles have hair, and some fade over time.
Moles can develop anywhere on the body, even under the fingernails, between the fingers and toes, and on the scalp. Changes in a mole can be cause for concern and may be a sign of melanoma. When changes occur, a dermatologist should evaluate the concerning mole.
Atypical or dysplastic moles are larger than a pencil eraser, have an odd shape and show more than one color. They require evaluation by a dermatologist, and a biopsy may be needed.
