Moles/Nevi: Comprehensive Care for Skin Health

Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin growths that can appear anywhere on the body, alone or in groups. Their colors can range from light brown to red, blue, dark brown, gray, or even black. Moles can be flat, slightly raised, smooth, or rough and may contain dark hairs. While most moles are benign and harmless, some, referred to as dysplastic nevi, contain abnormal or atypical cells with a greater potential for developing into melanoma. At Gold Skin Care Center, we specialize in the evaluation and treatment of moles to ensure your skin remains healthy and radiant.

What Are Moles/Nevi?

Moles are clusters of pigmented cells that typically develop over time. While benign moles often remain unchanged, dysplastic nevi can undergo changes beneath the skin that may signal a higher risk of skin cancer. Types of moles include:
  • Common Moles: Typically harmless, these moles are small with uniform color and distinct borders.
  • Dysplastic Nevi: Larger, irregular moles with varied colors and shapes that may warrant removal.
  • Congenital Moles: Present at birth, these moles vary in size and may require monitoring.

Advanced Treatments for Moles/Nevi

At Gold Skin Care Center, we offer a variety of options for mole evaluation and treatment:

Skin Exams and Monitoring

Routine skin examinations allow us to identify and monitor changes in moles. Using advanced imaging techniques, we can track potential concerns over time, providing early intervention if needed.

Mole Removal

Suspicious or cosmetically unappealing moles can be removed through procedures such as shave excision or excision with sutures. Our team carefully considers the location and cosmetic outcome to minimize scarring.

Dermoscopy

This non-invasive imaging method provides a detailed view of moles’ underlying structures. Dermoscopy is crucial for detecting atypical moles or early-stage melanoma, ensuring accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Cryotherapy

Liquid nitrogen is used to freeze and remove small, benign moles. This quick, minimally invasive procedure promotes healthy skin regeneration with little downtime.

Laser Treatments

Technologies like UltraClear and other advanced lasers effectively lighten or remove pigmented moles. Laser treatments are ideal for patients seeking non-invasive cosmetic improvement.

Excisional Surgery

For larger or potentially cancerous moles, excisional surgery ensures thorough removal. This procedure involves removing the mole along with a small margin of healthy tissue, with careful attention to minimizing scarring.

When to Seek Care

Anyone with a personal or family history of skin cancer should maintain a relationship with their dermatologist for annual monitoring and removal of suspicious moles. Warning signs to watch for include:
  • Changes in size, shape, or color of a mole
  • Moles that itch, bleed, or burn
  • New growths or lesions that appear irregular
Recognizing these early warning signs can help ensure timely treatment and peace of mind.
