Moles

 Moles, also known as melanocytic nevi, are pigmented growths on the skin that are usually brown or black. They can occur anywhere on the body and are generally harmless. However, moles can sometimes change in size, shape, or color, which may indicate a more serious condition. 

Diagnosis of Moles 

The diagnosis of moles is typically made through a visual examination of the skin. If a mole appears suspicious or has changed in size, shape, or color, a biopsy may be recommended to rule out skin cancer or atypical moles.

Treatment of Moles 

In most cases, moles do not require treatment. However, if a mole is causing discomfort, irritation, or is cosmetically unappealing, it can be removed with a simple surgical procedure. At Noor Dermatology, our dermatologists can perform mole removal using a variety of techniques, including excision, shave removal, or laser therapy.

Mole Removal at Noor Dermatology 

At Noor Dermatology, we use the latest technology and techniques to safely and effectively remove moles. Our dermatologists will evaluate your mole and determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs including shave removals and surgical excisions. During the mole removal procedure, a local anesthetic is injected into the skin to minimize discomfort. The mole is then removed using the chosen technique, and the area is carefully sutured or dressed to promote optimal healing. After the procedure, our dermatologists will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Monitoring Moles for Skin Cancer 

While most moles are harmless, it is important to monitor them for any changes that may indicate skin cancer. This includes performing regular self-examinations and scheduling regular appointments with a dermatologist. At Noor Dermatology, our experienced dermatologists can monitor your moles for any changes and provide personalized recommendations for prevention and treatment.
