What are the Most Common Types of Moles?

Flat moles:

Any dark spot on the skin is a flat mole. Several treatments can remove them.

Skin tags:

Small growths that may have a narrow stem and are usually flesh-colored. A physician can easily clip them off.

Raised moles:

Run deeper into the skin than flat moles and are usually removed.

How Does the Doctor Perform Mole Removal?

Depending on the patient and the location of the mole, the doctor can remove moles with a freezing solution or with a scalpel.

To watch for danger signs, people with moles should check for what doctors refer to as A-B-C-D. The letters stand for:

• Asymmetry: Half the mole is different
• Border Irregularity: Dangerous moles are often ragged, notched or blurred
• Color: Melanoma moles usually have a variety of hues and colors
• Diameter: Dangerous moles are usually larger than a pencil eraser
