A mole, also called a nevus, is a common skin growth that can appear on the face or body, varying in colour, size, and shape, and it may be flat or raised. Many common moles are benign, but a mole cannot be reliably assessed from a description alone, so professional examination is appropriate when there's uncertainty or a noticeable change. At DTC Skin Clinic, mole removal is planned based on the individual mole, its location, and the reason for removal.
Removal may be considered when a mole is cosmetically bothersome, prominent on the face, repeatedly irritated, or catches on clothing or jewellery. A dermatologist should assess any mole that looks different from your others or starts changing in asymmetry, border, colour, diameter, or shape, or if it becomes itchy or starts bleeding.
Mole removal at DTC Skin Clinic begins with a dermatological assessment rather than choosing a procedure based on appearance alone. The dermatologist considers the mole's size, location, and clinical features before discussing whether removal is appropriate, typically a surgical shave or surgical excision, with local anaesthesia used where needed, followed by wound-care and follow-up advice.
Results vary from patient to patient. See more in our full gallery.
Every case at DTC Skin Clinic is reviewed by a qualified specialist before treatment begins, with follow-up built into the plan rather than left to chance.
Healing varies with the removal technique, size, and location of the mole, and redness, tenderness, or a scab are possible after some procedures. A scar is possible, and its appearance varies between individuals. Regrowth or recurrence can occur in some cases, and any change in the area should be reviewed by a dermatologist.
