Mole removal in the West Midlands and staffordshire

Moles are pigmented skin lesions, typically brown or black in colour. Some people have many moles all over the body whilst other people just have a few. Moles usually develop during childhood. Its less common for new moles to develop from age 30 onwards, although moles can gradually change in appearance as we age. 

Its important to monitor your moles to check for changes. If you have any concerns about your moles, its best to see an experienced doctor such as a Consultant Dermatologist. 

Dr Wernham has a lot of experience checking moles and using dermoscopy to decide if a mole is likely to be cancerous. Following an assessment, Dr Wernham can advise you regarding mole removal and what to expect. 

If a mole is removed, its usually best to have it sent for analysis under a microscope to check it. This will allow the pathologist to check whether there is any evidence of melanoma (a type of skin cancer affecting moles). 

Some patients would like moles removed because they cause symptoms, for example rubbing or catching around the neck, face or scalp. Sometimes they are removed for cosmetic reasons and sometimes because of concern about skin cancer.
