Moles
A mole is a growth on the skin. Most moles are benign, but they can turn cancerous.
People can be born with moles, or they can develop them over the course of their lives. It’s important to be aware of what moles you have and where they are located.
Although you don’t generally need to worry about moles, any changes in the appearance should be brought to the attention of your dermatologist at Dallas Associates of Uptown. In particular, look for changes in color and/or size.
Sometimes moles can occur in areas of the body that negatively impact appearance or self-esteem, such as on the face. Mole removal is available, even when the mole poses no health risk.
Understanding Moles
Moles are common skin growths that often appear during childhood or early adulthood. While most are harmless, some may change over time and require evaluation by a dermatologist. At Dallas Associates of Uptown, we emphasize the importance of monitoring moles for any changes in size, shape, or color. These changes can be early warning signs of skin cancer, and our team provides comprehensive skin checks to help ensure your long-term skin health.
