What are Moles?
Moles are small growths on the skin, usually black or brown, that can vary considerably in size, colour and shape. Benign moles are harmless but can cause discomfort, for instance, if they catch on your clothes, or they are a source of embarrassment. In either case, moles can be safely removed from the body through a straightforward procedure, usually under local anaesthetic.
There may be an issue if you notice any significant changes in a mole’s appearance. If you have a mole that has grown, changed colour or started to itch, bleed or weep, your dermatologist may advise that it is removed and tested to find out if it is cancerous. This is routine and does not mean that you have skin cancer.
