Do I need to be worried about this cauliflower looking growth on my thigh? (Photos)

Question

I have this colorless raised growth on my thigh. I can't figure out what it might be. Do I need to address it?

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.

Based on your photos, it looks like a benign lesion.  However, looks can be deceiving.  If you are really concerned about the lesion the smartest thing to do is to have it evaluated by a dermatologist or your primary care physician.
