Questionable mole - How concerned should I be? (photos)

Question

Small mole with different texture and specks of color that doesn’t itch, hurt, etc. It’s been there for years but noticed it has changed recently, How concerned should I be? What could it be? Thank you

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.
