Moles and Nevi
Moles are usually harmless growths that occur on the skin. Moles should be smaller than a pencil eraser, evenly colored, and have smooth even edges and symmetry. Normally, moles do not change in their appearance. A new mole that doesn't look like the other moles, or a changing mole should be evaluated by a dermatologist. A malignant mole is called a melanoma. Early detection and treatment is the key to surviving melanoma. If there is any doubt about the nature of a mole, a biopsy is usually performed. Click here for more information.
