Moles
Most moles are harmless, but knowing what to watch for makes all the difference. Our board-certified dermatologists evaluate, monitor, and remove moles with expert care tailored to you.
What Are Moles?
Moles are common pigmented growths that appear on the skin as small, flat or raised spots, typically brown, tan, or pink in color. Most people have between 10 and 40 moles, and they generally develop during childhood and adolescence. The medical term for a mole is melanocytic nevus.
While the vast majority of moles are benign, changes in size, shape, color, or texture can sometimes signal a problem. That's why routine monitoring and yearly full-body skin exams are an important part of your skin health.
If you've noticed a new or changing mole, the best next step is an evaluation with a dermatologist. Most concerns turn out to be nothing, but catching the ones that aren't early is exactly why we're here.

How Are Moles Treated?
Most moles require no treatment. Removal is recommended only when a mole is suspicious, changing, or causing discomfort.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Trina Lannom, FNP-BC, at Meridiem. She has truly helped me feel confident in my skin again. My skin looks more rested, brighter, smoother, and honestly about 10 years younger. Trina takes the time to listen, explain everything thoroughly, and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and aesthetic eye are incredible. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cares about her patients and their results. I trust her completely with my face, and that says everything. If you are considering injectables or skin treatments, I highly recommend scheduling with Trina. She is exceptionally talented, and the confidence boost she has given me has been priceless.

Hello, I used this facility while I was visiting from Puerto Rico. It is very clean when you walk in and also throughout the building. The receptionist was beautiful, kind, very fun to talk to, and very helpful. Dan is the one who performed my injections, and he did a fabulous job. Very much took the time to make sure that it was the proper amount, angled, right, put dots and lines all over my face, let me look in the mirror, explained everything to me, also gave us honest opinion if I needed more or less of anything. I highly recommend anyone living in Sevierville or visiting to use the clinic. You will not be disappointed.
Elianna B.
Excellent customer service and very professional staff! Thank you so much it was fast, easy and convenient 😊

Hii I was the girl with the split dye pink and black hair.. My derm, Dr. Cheater is one of the best.. Unfortunately I don't go there anymore because I recently moved but I HAVE to deliver my experience for these ladies... One of the BEST doctors I personally feel like I can go to. Thoroughly explains everything I need and just a really overall great doctor. And the ladies at the front desk.. They had no issues making me feel so welcomed the first second I walked in the door. Extremely professional and super sweet I recommend and even fondly speak about this staff to my Piers and family. I just wanted to hop on here and personally thank everyone who I spoke to here because credit is definitely earned.

I think you all have a great office staff and doctors. I was treated with the utmost respect and professionalism. And I even got to joke around which I think is very important because for me it makes me feel more comfortable and feel like a person when there are great interactions like that. Everything was explained easily and very comprehensively. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
Elianna B.
Dr. Wheeler is amazing! Always makes me feel like she genuinely cares about my health! She always listens to any concerns I have and is quick to make sure they are addressed and handled! I leave every appointment feeling well cared for! I would highly recommend her!

I’m very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of the clinic. I’m receiving very good care. The four stars is related to the frustration in trying to contact the office and lack of development of the patient portal.

Elianna B.
I love it 💘 Everyone was very nice.
Elianna B.
So I’m a honest reviewer. If they don’t earn it I don’t just give 5 stars. This place deserves 10! So so pleasant. My son sees PA Brittany and she is so wonderful. So kind, she listens very well, she thoroughly answers and explains things wonderfully. She has helped my son with his hormonal and bacterial acne so much. We have nothing negative to say about this place. Also- they are very good with getting you in at your appointment time.

I was sent links to fill out the paperwork before my appointment making streamlining the appointment very easy! The entire staff was very friendly and professional. I waited less than 10 minutes before I was seen. Stephanie was very attentive to my concerns and answered any questions that I had. I highly recommend Atlanta Dermatology based upon my awesome experience!!

Elianna B.
Awesome dermatologist office in St. Pete. I had 3 moles and a skin tag that needed to be removed. I made an appointment online with Dr. Trent and it was the easiest appointment I have ever been to. The staff is very friendly and I was brought back at my appointment time. Dr. Trent was very knowledgeable and explained each spot I was concerned with. She then was able to remove what I wanted in the same appointment and made sure my insurance covered it. I will be coming back and will be recommending this place to friends and family. Very impressed
Elianna B.
Dr. Hand and her staff are very professional, friendly, and caring. I arrived a bit early for my appointment in order to complete the necessary forms.

I had the most wonderful experience with Britney Sanderson. She was very professional and knowledgeable concerning the procedures that I desired. Most especially she made sure I was comfortable, understood the procedures that she would be administrating, the after care and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. She made me feel very special. I was totally overwhelmed with the outcome! Thank you Britney.

Dr. Ismail has treated me and my child with the utmost care and professionalism. Would highly recommend her for any dermatology needs!
Elianna B.
I have almost never had such a wonderful experience at a doctor's office. Lina Weber was kind, funny, very knowledgeable, and I can tell she goes above and beyond often.. she certainly did for me. I have been scared to DEATH over something and my primary sent me to a dermatologist which really wasn't even the right place for me. Luckily, I also had a Dermatology need as well so I can continue going back, but for this other issue she took initiative to send an order for me to have further testing done and offered to go over the results with me and get me to the right doctor if needed. Luckily, it ended up being nothing horrid. She made me feel heard. That was huge. I despise going ro doctors because I feel I get the brush off often but Lina Weber is one of the good ones. I would recommend this location to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much Dr. Weber!

I wish you continued success, and may God bless you all as you continue making such a positive impact on the lives of your patients.
Elianna B.
Dr. Momtemarano was amazing. One of the best doctor experiences I've had.... ever. I went in for a potentially unpleasant experience, a cancer biopsy of a badly discolored pinkie toe nail, which I was told beforehand would involve drilling into it or removal of the entire nail. In the end, he did pry off and pull out the entire nail and then slice into the tissue underneath to get a biopsy sample. The thing that hurt the most was the anaesthesia injection. Despite the invasiveness of it all, my primary experience of it was, "wow, what a confident, competent, calming and friendly presence this doctor is!" He has a super warm bedside manner, as well as an extraordinary ability to explain complex things, listen actively and respond, and instill a sense of comfort. He was great. I'd go back in tomorrow to have another toenail removed just for the good conversation.
Elianna B.
Always an awesome visit!
Elianna B.
Out of all the doctors I have seen, he is the best one I found. Highly recommend!!
Elianna B.
Staff is top notch! Dr. Helen has a great personality and put me right at ease…she is skilled which minimized the length of wound. Shannon was wonderful in explaining every step of procedure and follow up care. Hope I never have to see them again but if I do, I will know I’m in good hands.

Dr.Sable has been my dermatologist for as long as I can remember. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I am an equestrian athlete outside training or in the barn in the sun. He is very kind, personable as well as an extremely good listener to any concerns that I may have. On top of that, the entire staff are always pleasant, welcoming and always ensure that I am well taken care of. Thank you to the entire staff at Academic of Alliance of Dermatology at Swann office.

Dawn at the front desk was very patient and understanding. Carly Griffies did her usual very meticulous exam, I 've always felt like she'd miss nothing that could do me harm.
Elianna B.
Today’s visit was excellent. We waited less than 10 minutes in the lobby, and the front desk staff were, as always, very friendly and welcoming. Our appointment was with Dr. Matthew Zook for the scheduled removal of a cyst above our three-year-old son’s eye. Both Dr. Zook and his assistant were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. As fairly anxious parents with a language barrier, we had many questions, and they took the time to answer every one of them without hesitation, making us feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire visit. The procedure itself was very quick. Our son only shed two tears — honestly, my husband and I were much more nervous than he was! After the procedure, we were given clear instructions for aftercare, a prescription for an ointment, and reassurance that everything had gone very well. We are now waiting for the biopsy results, which should be available in about 10 days. Thank you to Dr. Zook and his assistant for their professionalism, expertise, compassion, and excellent care. We truly appreciate the wonderful experience and highly recommend this practice. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Elianna B.
The experience is always great. Everybody is super professional.
Elianna B.
Dr. Kenny, Alissa, and Rita are all amazing. Front desk were all very personable too. They always make me feel welcome. This was only my second time there but I was in and out within 45 minutes. Not that time matters to me when my health is involved. They don't make you feel like just another number. That is top notch!
Elianna B.

Very pleased with my experience at this office. Care staff was very knowledgeable and efficient with recommendations for treatment. 10/10 would recommend to my network. La recepcionista de la derecha tomó un tono muy agudo conmigo que no fue apreciado. Básicamente, la gordita era un poco demasiado picante para mí gusto.
Elianna B.
We love Dr. O’Neill, have been seeing him for years. My wife and I see him together and it’s like a happy reunion every time! He is so good at what he does and we love him! He’s been protecting us from the sun for years!! We are boaters too! We make the drive now from Easton, Md. I tried to go local one time in Annapolis and they whacked off something in my shin and asked me to come back for biopsy. I went back to Dr. O’Neill right away. No issue in shin at all. We will stay with him until he retires!! 😉

I have been going to this practice for several years now. Dr. Giblin is who I see primarily and he is very knowledgeable and discusses treatment options very clearly, and makes sure the patient’s questions and concerns are addressed. I have also used Dr. Krivda who performed a skin cancer surgery for me. He did an excellent job and you cannot see any evidence of a scar. All the staff are friendly, the office scheduling process is easy and minimal wait time once you arrive for your appointment. I would recommend them to anyone.

Most moles are completely harmless and never require treatment. However, certain types carry a higher risk of developing into melanoma, which is why regular skin exams and monitoring matter.
Use the ABCDEs as your guide: Asymmetry, irregular Border, multiple Colors, a Diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and Evolution, any change in size, shape, or color over time. If a mole checks any of these boxes, schedule an evaluation with a dermatologist.
You can't prevent moles entirely, but protecting your skin from UV exposure and avoiding sunburn can reduce your risk of developing new moles. Genetics also plays a role, so if moles run in your family, routine monitoring is especially important.
Removing every mole isn't necessary or recommended. Your dermatologist will advise removal only when a mole shows suspicious characteristics, has changed over time, or is causing physical discomfort. Routine monitoring is the right approach for most moles.
Yes, though most moles develop during childhood and adolescence. New moles that appear in adulthood should always be evaluated by a dermatologist, as they're more likely to warrant a closer look than moles that have been present for years.
When mole removal is medically necessary, such as when there's concern for skin cancer, it's typically covered by insurance. Removal for cosmetic reasons is usually not covered, so it's worth confirming with your insurance provider before your appointment.
When performed by a trained provider, mole removal is a safe, routine in-office procedure. Attempting to remove a mole yourself carries serious risks: scarring, infection, and if cancer cells are present, the potential for them to spread into surrounding skin.
Moles can develop virtually anywhere, including less obvious areas like the scalp, between the fingers and toes, on the palms and soles, and even under the nails.
