Mole Evaluation & Removal
Most moles are benign. The ones worth attention are those that change — in size, shape, or color — or that bleed, itch, or stand out from your other moles. Because our surgeons spend their days looking at skin cancer under the microscope, evaluating a suspicious mole is home ground.
Removed tissue is examined, and if a mole proves to be malignant, you are already in the right office: the same team performs margin-controlled Mohs surgery when it is indicated.
(972) 378-0620
When to come in
- A mole that is changing in size, shape, or color
- A mole that bleeds, itches, or is painful
- An irregular mole your dermatologist wants evaluated
- A mole you would simply rather not have
How we treat it
Excisional removal
Complete removal with minimal impact on the surrounding skin, with pathology review.
Mohs surgery when malignant
If a mole proves cancerous, the same practice provides margin-controlled removal.
Your surgeon will walk you through what to expect — including preparation and aftercare — before anything is scheduled.
