Why would I have a mole checked by a specialist and when would I get rid of a mole?

While most moles are completely harmless, they may be unsightly, which can affect your confidence, or they can be a nuisance. For example, if you regularly cut them while shaving or if they catch on your clothing.

If this is the case, you may want to have the mole removed. As this type of cosmetic surgery isn’t routinely provided on the NHS, you can contact us directly to arrange treatment.

If your GP has concerns about a mole, they can refer you to our Consultant Dermatologists to establish whether they’re malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). If a mole is diagnosed as malignant it would need to be removed and examined in a laboratory to ensure that it’s all been removed.
