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.

Hello, and thanks for your question.  I would recommend getting the skin in that area checked by either a gynecologist or a dermatologist.  It is impossible to say whether new moles are normal or not without an exam in person of the lesions.  Please see an expert, and best of luck!  Hope you are staying well!
