Nearly every adult has a few moles, most of which are called the common mole and, aside from being cosmetically unappealing for the most part, are harmless. People with lighter skin tend to have more moles than others and may have as many as 40 moles, which is normal. The common mole is typically tiny, no more giant than a pencil eraser, and comes in different colors, from pink to black.

No matter what your mole looks like, we at NewM Clinic in Brampton can help you eliminate them.

Most moles appear in childhood or early adolescence but can be present at birth; as the child grows, their moles will grow with them and may become darker or lighter in color. In most cases, these slight changes do not cause concern and are considered normal.

Nonetheless, some changes should not be ignored as they may indicate your mole may become cancerous. Dermatologists and doctors worldwide and in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, recommend monitoring your moles every month, noting any changes in their appearance.

Visiting our clinic in Brampton will ensure healthy, beautiful skin and reduce the chances of getting cancer.

Types of moles:

Common mole - The common mole has distinct edges, is round or oval, and can appear in shades of pink, brown, tan, or black.

Congenital mole - When a person is born with a mole, it is called a congenital mole and can range from a tiny dot to a large mole covering a large part of a limb or other body parts. Congenital moles are at a higher risk of cancer, significantly larger ones.

Atypical mole  - This type of mole has an irregular shape, often is more significant than 6 millimeters in diameter, and appears to have more than one color. People with atypical moles are at a greater risk of developing melanoma, particularly if you have more than 4 of these moles and you or your family have a history of melanoma.

Getting familiar with the appearance of your moles and monitoring them for any changes in shape, color, and size will make it easier to spot unusual changes; having a doctor monitor any changes in your moles may save your life.

A mole may be a sign of skin cancer if it has one or more of these unusual changes to it:

• asymmetrical shape
• Irregular or scalloped borders
• Has uneven color or a mix of colors
• Has gotten larger than 6 millimeters
• It starts to get itchy, swollen or bleeds

Mole removal methods used in Brampton

Over-the-counter kits - When it comes to mole removal, a do-it-yourself approach is never a good idea. There are many kits and solutions you can purchase at your local pharmacy. Still, they are expensive and ineffective, not to mention you may be removing a cancerous mole without knowing.

Surgical removal - This method uses surgical scissors at the doctor's office. The doctor will cut the mole off and, if necessary, will apply stitches to the removal site.

Freezing - This is another mole removal method widely used by doctors and is most suitable if your mole has not grown deep below the skin's surface.

Laser removal - one of the latest innovations in mole removal is removing the mole with a laser. This removal method is especially beneficial for moles in hard-to-reach and peaceful places such as the face, neck, and ears.

Moles on your face, neck, ears, arms, and legs may make you feel unattractive and self-conscious. Our attentive and highly trained doctors in Brampton's number-one clinic will help you get the beautiful glowing skin you deserve.
