What it is
Moles, also called nevi, are common skin growths formed by pigment-producing cells. They can vary in colour, shape, size and whether they are flat or raised. Most moles are benign.
Moles, also called nevi, are common skin growths formed by pigment-producing cells. They can vary in colour, shape, size and whether they are flat or raised. Most moles are benign.
A mole that is new, changing or looks different from your other moles deserves professional assessment. Changes in size, shape or colour, as well as bleeding, itching or crusting, can be warning signs that require medical evaluation.
02
What should you notice about a mole?
Moles can naturally look different from person to person. What matters clinically is whether a mole has unusual features or begins to change over time.
One half of a mole looks noticeably different from the other half.
Edges may appear uneven, blurred, ragged or poorly defined.
A mole that grows or changes noticeably over time should be examined.
Persistent itching or soreness can be a reason to have a mole assessed
A mole that repeatedly bleeds or becomes crusty should be professionally evaluated.
A spot that looks noticeably different from the others on your skin may warrant closer examination.
WHEN A MOLE NEEDS CLOSER EVALUATION
Certain changes should be assessed medically before any cosmetic removal is considered.
A new mole or spot that looks unusual
Noticeable change in size, shape or colour
Irregular borders or multiple colours
Persistent itching, soreness, bleeding or crusting
A mole that looks significantly different from your other moles
03
What to expect
Clinical mole assessment
Your dermatologist examines the mole’s size, shape, colour, border, location and history of change.
Treatment decision
If the mole appears benign, you may discuss monitoring or treatment depending on symptoms, location and cosmetic concern.
Further evaluation when needed
When a mole has suspicious features, biopsy or excision with laboratory examination may be recommended rather than routine cosmetic removal.
04
Physician note
Mole care should always begin with assessment, not removal. Most moles are harmless, but a changing or unusual mole needs to be evaluated before deciding what to do next.
At Averah, position the approach around first understanding the mole’s appearance, history and behaviour.
The priority should be correct evaluation first, followed by treatment only when clinically appropriate.

Why Averah
Assessment comes first
Every mole is evaluated before treatment or cosmetic removal is considered.
Dermatoscopic evaluation
When appropriate, magnified examination can support closer clinical assessment of pigmented lesions.
Individualised decisions
Whether a mole is monitored, investigated further or treated depends on its appearance, symptoms and clinical findings.
Safety-focused care
Suspicious lesions are approached as medical concerns rather than routine cosmetic growths.

Questions
A mole is a common skin growth made up of pigment-producing cells. Moles can be flat or raised and vary in colour and size.
Most moles are harmless. However, new or changing moles should be assessed because changes can sometimes be associated with melanoma.
Seek assessment if a mole changes in size, shape or colour, becomes itchy or painful, bleeds or crusts, or looks significantly different from your other moles.
ABCDE refers to Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Colour variation, Diameter and Evolving/change—features commonly used to help recognise potentially suspicious lesions.
Benign moles may sometimes be removed for cosmetic or practical reasons after appropriate assessment.
Do not attempt to cut, burn or otherwise remove a mole yourself. A mole should first be properly assessed, particularly if it has unusual or changing features.
No. A skin biopsy is generally used when the examining clinician sees features that require further investigation; not every mole or skin growth needs one.
Further evaluation may include removing the mole or a tissue sample and sending it for laboratory examination.
Melanoma can sometimes appear as a changing existing mole, although it may also appear as a new skin spot

MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY
A mole should be assessed before it is treated.
Most moles are benign, but appearance alone should not be used casually to decide whether a changing lesion is harmless. New or evolving spots deserve appropriate clinical evaluation.
At Averah, position this service around careful visual assessment and, when clinically indicated, further investigation.
This creates a much more trustworthy page than marketing the service simply as “mole removal.”
