Mole Check & Removal

A mole (also called a nevus) is a very common occurrence. We sometimes call these darker pigmented spots on the face beauty marks. Most moles are small and symmetrically shaped; most moles are harmless and need not be removed except for cosmetic reasons. 
Cancerous moles need medical and surgical treatments after they are diagnosed. Most concerning of these harmful moles is melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. That’s why it’s important to have a dermatologist check any facial or body moles that have recently appeared on the skin as well as any moles which change in size, shape or color.

Because melanoma has approximately a 95 percent cure rate when detected early, Cultura dermatologists recommend regular skin self-examination to identify suspicious changes in moles, skin growths, skin tags and warts. The entire body should be checked from head to toe, including the scalp, feet and between the toes.  Report any changes to your dermatologist immediately.

To remove moles quickly and efficiently, the mole removals best performed by a dermatologist with laser, cosmetic and surgical expertise in laser mole removal.
According to The National Cancer Institute, sun protection with appropriate clothing and sunscreen, is the best way to avoid mole development.
