Mole Evaluation & Removal

Specialists at Revere Health provide thorough mole evaluation and removal services to support the health and safety of your skin. While moles are common and typically harmless, some may show signs of cancer, including melanoma. Early detection and removal of potentially cancerous moles are essential for preventing the spread of skin cancer. The experienced team is trained to evaluate, remove, and test moles, offering peace of mind and supporting optimal skin health.

Mole Evaluation
Our dermatologists carefully examine moles for any signs of abnormal growth, including:

Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other half.
Border Irregularity: The edges of the mole are uneven, blurred, or jagged.
Color Variation: The mole contains different shades of brown, black, or even red, blue, or white.
Diameter: Moles larger than a pencil eraser (6 mm) may be a cause for concern.
Evolution: Any changes in size, shape, or color over time, or the development of new symptoms such as itching or bleeding.

Mole Removal
If a mole appears suspicious or is causing discomfort, removal may be recommended. Our team uses various methods to safely remove moles, including:

Shave Excision: A quick and simple procedure where the mole is shaved off the surface of the skin, typically used for smaller moles.
Surgical Excision: For larger or deeper moles, the entire mole and some surrounding tissue are surgically removed to ensure all potentially cancerous cells are eliminated.
Biopsy and Testing: Once a mole is removed, it is sent to a laboratory for biopsy to determine whether it contains cancerous or pre-cancerous cells.

When to Consider Mole Evaluation and Removal
Suspicious Changes: If you notice any changes in the size, shape, color, or texture of a mole, it’s important to have it evaluated by a specialist.
Discomfort: Moles that cause irritation, such as rubbing against clothing or causing pain, should be assessed for removal.
Cosmetic Reasons: Moles can also be removed for cosmetic purposes if they are located in visible areas and cause concern.
