Mole Treatment in Wilmington, NC

Moles are common, discolored skin growths. They may also be benign or indicate cancer and cancer risk. At Wilmington Dermatology, we have treatment options for moles to keep your skin clear and healthy.

What Are Moles?

What Are Moles?

A mole is a general term given to a skin growth, caused by the formation of a cluster of pigment cells, which can be raised or flat. Most moles appear before you reach the age of 20, but they can also develop due to sun exposure and environmental causes.

Most moles fall into two categories:

  • “Atypical” or dysplastic nevi develop over time; they tend to be flat, have irregular borders, and contain different colors. While often benign, they can indicate risk for melanoma, especially if you have a family history of skin cancer.
  • Congenital nevi appear at birth and are typically benign, but if you have many of them or a larger one, it may indicate an increased risk for melanoma. These moles are often round or oval shaped, and typically raised.

While moles themselves don’t often have cancerous cells, nearby skin may have them — which is why it is important to get your skin checked regularly!
