DERMATOLOGY · CONDITIONS

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.

Schedule Online
AAD - Moles - Banner copy

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.

Causes
Melanocyte Clustering
Pigment cells group together instead of spreading evenly.
Sun Exposure
UV damage can trigger new mole development over time.
Genetics
A family history of moles increases how many you may develop.
Skin Type
Lighter complexions tend to have more moles on average.
Symptoms
Uniform Color
Brown, tan, or pink, consistent throughout the spot.
Round or Oval Shape
Smooth, well-defined borders with regular edges.
Flat or Slightly Raised
Stable in texture and height over time.
Stable Appearance
Looks the same from month to month, year to year.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Are Moles Treated?

Most moles require no treatment. Removal is recommended only when a mole is suspicious, changing, or causing discomfort.

Surgical Excision-3 copy

Surgical Excision

The entire mole is removed with a scalpel, and the skin is closed with sutures.
Shave Excision copy

Shave Removal

A surgical blade shaves the mole flush with the surrounding skin.
Biopsy and Lab Analysis copy

Biopsy and Lab Analysis

The removed tissue is examined under a microscope for abnormal cells.
monitoring copy

Monitoring

Stable moles are tracked over time with regular full-body skin exams.

Only reason the don't get 5* is because of the handicap ramp to get in the place. I take a couple clients who use rollators. The ramp is very long and pretty steep. But felt the were going to fall backwards & needed a rest as soon as we got to the door. Its also not covered so we got soaked when it started pouring.

I visited Sharnel Reed for a CoolPeel Tetra Laser treatment and she completely exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care for her patients stood out from the moment I walked in. Throughout the entire procedure, she checked in regularly to make sure I was comfortable and reminded me that I could speak up at any point — which made the whole experience feel really relaxed and stress-free. The treatment itself was painless, and her attentiveness made it even better. Her medical assistant Nicolette as well as the front desk staff were equally impressive. She had me settled into the room immediately and walked me through exactly what to expect before we even got started. That kind of preparation and communication makes a real difference. I can't recommend Sharnel Reed and Academic Alliance enough. If you're considering this treatment, you're in great hands.

She did several passes over my skin as requested and made sure I was comfortable. Here's where she went above and beyond...I accidentally misplaced my post-peel kit and realized when I got home. Her team met me in Baltimore to give me a new kit!! This is beyond 5-star service! My skin was glowing after my peel, and I cannot wait for another one.

Huge shoutout to Nurse Practitioner Kelsey Reed and the receptionist for their excellent care and customer service. I was a little upset after driving to my appointment and learning that my provider was unable to see me due to an insurance credentialing issue that I had not been informed about beforehand. Thankfully, the receptionist quickly helped arrange for me to see Kelsey. Kelsey was kind, professional, informative, and took the time to address all of my concerns. Both she and the receptionist turned what could have been a very frustrating experience into a positive one. Thank you both for your compassion, professionalism, and dedication to patients!

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sabini. She went out of her way to squeeze me in for an appointment, which I truly appreciated. From the moment I saw her, I felt comfortable and well cared for. She was gentle, knowledgeable, efficient, and made everything feel easy. I don’t normally see her at the Suwanee office, but after this visit I was so impressed. I also ran into a problem with a new credit card, and Sam Coad, the site manager, immediately stepped in and saved the day. Her kindness and helpfulness made an already great visit even better. Dr. Sabini and the Suwanee team made me feel genuinely cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, professional, and positive experience. Five stars!

Had a great visit today. The ladies are wonderful here. Got my Tremfya sample in less than 24hrs because insurance is being cranky about filling it, so to hole me over I got a sample and some injections for my hair thinning.

I had a great experience. My specialist was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I felt my skin was very well cared for. And although it takes several days to see the benefits of a chemical peel, my skin looked tighter and more clear immediately after. I will be returning for more services because I was so pleased with my experience.

I recently had my first visit to Anne Arundel Dermatology in Westminster for a small growth on my face. It was very easy to schedule an appointment right online and was also able to upload my relevant insurance information and identification. The office is very nice, and you are able to answer your health history questions right on a nice iPad like tablet. I saw Dr Marianne Dawn. She was very friendly and told me I had a seborrheic keratosis. She said she could freeze it off right then and there. So, five minutes later I was done! She told me how to treat it over the next couple weeks and now there is no sign of it whatsoever. I would definitely recommend the practice to anyone looking for a dermatologist and will use them again myself if I need any dermatological care.

I have a sebaceous cyst that after many years has finally decided to become inflamed- getting a dermatologist who wants to handle the old-fashioned medical stuff is getting very hard to do as the MONEY these days is in the cosmetic stuff, Botox,fillers ,skin care lines , etc . These people can do it all, and do it promptly !

Very professional as well as courteous with all I have dealt with... Dr. Lisa Anderson is very thorough and great in her field... I have never had any negative issues with them... They saved my life in 2012 when they found a stage 3 melanoma on my back that you could barely see and Lisa Renfro performed the surgery to remove it... I will never switch providers...

ADDRESSING TOP MOLE CONCERNS

Your Mole Questions, Answered

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. 

Ready to Address Your Moles?

Whether you've noticed a new or changing mole or simply want a closer look, our dermatologists can evaluate your skin and recommend the right next step.
