Mole Symptoms

Most adults have moles (medically known as nevi). Often the growths are present since childhood, with some becoming lighter or darker and more prominent as the child gets older. A nevus usually stays the same and can present anywhere on the skin as appearing:

Round in shape

Flat or slightly raised

Brown in color, even though some may be red, black, or tan.

While most moles are harmless, Dr. Weishar advises her patients to watch their moles. Especially since the moles can become cancerous.

Different Type Of Moles

It is important to know the different types of moles to know when to schedule an office visit.

Common or acquired These are the nevi that most people have; they are harmless and do not change in color, shape, and size. They appear on the skin after birth.
Atypical These are bigger than a pencil eraser, are different colors, and are odd in shape.
Congenital This type of mole is present at birth. It can be small or large – the bigger the mole, the greater the risk of melanoma.
Spitz nevus These are dome-shaped nevi that look like melanoma. Some bleed and come in various colors, like pink, red, or black.

Treatment For Moles

Dr. Weishar’s patients usually visit her for diagnosis and treatment when their mole changes in appearance. Patients have concerns when the skin growth becomes a nuisance (rubs against clothes) or looks unattractive.

Dr. Weishar removes moles leaving minimum scarring, using several techniques:

Excision with a surgical blade
Surgical shave
Laser treatment
Liquid nitrogen

We use a numbing cream before the procedure and a topical cream after to prevent infection during treatment. In addition, we examine moles after the removal to rule out any underlying cause for concern, such as skin cancer.
