Moles

While moles are often referred to as “beauty spots,” not all moles are harmless or aesthetically pleasing. In some cases, they may cause cosmetic concerns or even pose health risks, requiring medical attention or removal.

Moles are clusters of pigmented skin cells that appear as brown or black spots and can vary in size, shape and color. They may be present from birth or develop over time due to sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetic factors.

At We Heal Clinic, our expert dermatologists offer comprehensive mole evaluation and removal services. We monitor and assess moles for any signs of change, as moles can sometimes evolve in shape, color, or size and carry the potential risk of becoming cancerous (melanoma).

Moles are often seen as beauty marks, but not all moles are harmless or aesthetically appealing. In some cases, they can cause cosmetic concerns or even lead to disfigurement, prompting the need for professional evaluation and possible removal.

Moles are formed by clusters of pigmented cells beneath the skin and can vary greatly in appearance—from small brown spots to larger, darker patches. Some moles are present from birth, while others may develop later in life due to factors like sun exposure or hormonal changes.

At We Heal Clinic, we emphasize the importance of regular skin checks, as moles can evolve over time. Certain changes—such as in size, shape, or color—can be warning signs of malignant transformation, including melanoma.
