Moles

What are moles?

Moles, also known as nevi, are pigmented skin lesions that may be present at birth or develop over time. Most are benign, but some may develop changes that require a dermatological evaluation.

What specialist do I need to check a mole?

The appropriate specialist is a dermatologist, who can examine the mole and use dermoscopy to assess its characteristics in greater detail. If a lesion appears suspicious, the dermatologist may recommend monitoring, a biopsy, or another procedure.

When should I see a specialist about a mole?

A medical evaluation is recommended when a mole changes in size, shape, or color, develops irregular borders, bleeds, causes persistent itching, or looks different from other moles. A dermatological examination can also be useful for regular mole monitoring.
