Expert Mole Evaluations
Moles are common skin growths, and while most moles are harmless, some may change over time or develop unusual features that require evaluation by a dermatologist. At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, we provide expert mole checks, skin cancer screenings, and mole removal treatments when necessary.
Moles develop when pigment-producing skin cells, called melanocytes, grow in clusters instead of spreading evenly throughout the skin. Some moles are present at birth, while others develop over time due to genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or aging.
While many moles are completely harmless, regular monitoring is important because changes in appearance can sometimes signal abnormal skin cell activity or skin cancer. Paying attention to changes in size, shape, texture, or color can help support early detection and prompt treatment if needed.
Moles can vary in appearance, size, color, and level of concern.
Typical moles are usually round, evenly colored, and harmless.
Irregular moles may have uneven borders, multiple colors, or unusual shapes.
These moles are present at birth and can vary greatly in size.
Raised moles extend above the skin’s surface and may become irritated by friction.
Small red growths formed by blood vessels that commonly appear with age.
Soft, flesh-colored growths often found in areas of friction like the neck or underarms.
A serious form of skin cancer that may resemble an irregular or changing mole.
Sac-like bumps beneath the skin that may become swollen, irritated, or uncomfortable.
