Moles are an aesthetic and medical challenge. In SKINMED®, find the best solutions for healthy and beautiful skin.
Who are we talking to?
To each of you when you have congenital moles (from early childhood) or moles that have developed over time, when you want a correct diagnosis and want to know what treatment options are available to safely remove the lesion from your body without residual scarring. Body moles can be skin-coloured, raised, and others pigmented (brown or brown-black) flat or raised. Over time they may undergo changes, some physiological and others warning signs, requiring urgent medical attention. Similarly, any new pigmented lesion should be seen by a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis.

What are moles and why do they occur?
Moles are caused by groups of pigmented cells called melanocytes. These cells produce melanin, which gives colour to skin, hair and eyes. Moles can develop at any age, but are more common in fair-skinned people and those with a family history of moles. Moles are a common type of skin lesion that can occur anywhere on the body. Most moles are benign, but some can develop into skin cancer over time.
Types of body moles
Congenital moles
They are present at birth or appear in early childhood and are usually larger than other types of moles.
Acquired moles
They develop over time and are more common than congenital moles.
Dysplastic snow
These are larger, irregularly shaped moles that may have an increased risk of developing into skin cancer.
Most of these lesions are harmless and do not require treatment. However, people should monitor their moles for changes in size, shape, colour or texture as these may be signs of skin cancer. A dermatologist can examine a mole and determine whether it should be removed or biopsied.
Treatment of moles in SKINMED®
There are many options for treating moles, from removal with the latest laser technology to surgical methods. Treatment of these skin lesions depends on the cause of their appearance. Moles that are atypical or show signs of skin cancer may need to be surgically removed. Removal of these lesions may also be done for cosmetic reasons.
In addition to medical treatment, SKINMED® specialists can recommend lifestyle changes that can help prevent new moles from developing. These include avoiding excessive sun exposure, wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen with a high SPF.
