Moles are often called beauty marks, but some may harm your health. Most moles are known as the common mole and are small, even in color, and have clear borders. If your moles are more significant than a pencil eraser, they have an uneven color or an asymmetrical shape with scalloped edges. It would be best to consider having them examined by a healthcare professional.

If your moles concern you, we at NewM clinic in Burlington can help put your mind at ease and remove them safely.

Moles may appear anywhere on the body, back, neck, torso, face, extremities, and even between fingers and toes. Some people are born with moles, these are called congenital moles, and some people may develop moles at any time in their life, some as early as childhood.

People with congenital moles are at a higher risk of developing melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Getting familiar with the appearance of your moles will help you spot any unusual changes easily.

Dermatologists and skincare specialists worldwide and in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, recommend monitoring your moles by checking them regularly. Some changes in size and color are expected, such as during pregnancy and puberty. When you experience hormonal changes and growth, your moles may deepen in color and become slightly more prominent.

Please book an appointment at our clinic in Burlington to enjoy healthy, beautiful skin and reduce your chances of getting cancer.

When to see the doctor:

• Asymmetrical shape - Common moles are symmetrical; if one-half of your mole looks different, it may be a sign of concern.
• Irregular or scalloped borders - Typical moles have clearly defined borders and are round or oval; if your mole has uneven or scalloped edges, it may also be a concern.
• Has uneven color or a mix of colors - Regular moles are usually one even color; when a mole starts to change colors or has a combination of colors, it is better examined by a doctor to rule out any cause for concern.
• Has gotten larger than 6 millimeters - A typical mole is about the size of a pencil eraser which is 6 millimeters in diameter; if your mole has grown and you are not experiencing any hormonal changes such as pregnancy, it may be a concerning sign.
• Itching, swelling, and bleeding - Regular moles do not bleed, crust, hurt, or itch; if you are experiencing any of these symptoms with your moles, it is best to seek a medical opinion.
