There are a few notable features in a mole that should warrant you to have it checked out. Any mole that is changing, bleeding, or growing rapidly should be concerning.  Other concerning features include asymmetry, border irregularity, multiple colors within the same lesion, changing colors, and size of the mole. Anything larger than a pencil eraser should be checked.

Treatment of Moles: A biopsy is a simple procedure that removes a portion of the mole to be further evaluated by a pathologist. This is a quick and easy process that is often done in a matter of minutes in the office.  Our providers are best trained at evaluating moles, and can quickly tell you if yours needs to be removed for a biopsy or not.
