Why Remove a Mole?
Moles can be removed for several reasons:
- Suspicious changes that may indicate skin cancer or pre-cancer
- Discomfort or irritation from moles in high-friction areas
- Cosmetic concerns affecting confidence or appearance
At DermConsult, our dermatologists provide personalised advice to determine if surgical mole removal is the safest and most effective option for you. We follow strict medical protocols to ensure your safety and optimal outcomes.
What Happens During Mole Removal?
Our mole removal process is safe, quick, and effective:
- Consultation & Assessment – We perform a thorough mole check and review your skin history to assess for atypical and suspicious moles or pigmented lesions.
- Treatment Options – Your mole may be removed using:
- Shave removal or shave excision surgery
- Full surgical excision or ellipse excision surgery with a margin of healthy skin if required.
- Local Anaesthetic – All procedures are performed under local anaesthetic in a sterile environment to ensure comfort and safety.
- Aftercare & Healing – We provide guidance on wound care, both verbally and in writing. Our nurses are available to remove your stitches if you have had any, and provide further wound care advice and review.
All removed moles are sent for tissue analysis (lab analysis) if required to confirm the nature of the lesion.

Types of moles
Common moles (common naevi)
Common naevi are benign/innocent moles that appear on most people. They are usually coloured pink, tan, or brown, have a clear edge and are usually even in colour.
Dysplastic moles (dysplastic naevi)
Dysplastic naevi are atypical moles. They have less regular edges and may have a mixture of different colours. Studies show that the more dysplastic naevi you have, the higher the risk of developing melanoma.
What to look out for - the ABCDE full body mole check
If you are not sure and are worried about your moles, the NHS recommends the ABCDE checklist; helpful in identifying any high-risk moles:
- Asymmetrical: Does the mole have an irregular shape without two matching halves?
- Border: Does the mole have a jagged, uneven border?
- Colours: Does the mole have a mix of more than two colours?
- Diameter: Is the mole larger than 6mm in diameter?
- Evolution: Has your mole changed in size and shape over time?

Frequently Asked Questions
Most mole removal procedures are quick, usually completed within 30 minutes to an hour.
While most moles can be safely removed, our dermatologists will assess your mole during the consultation to ensure it’s suitable for dermatological treatment. Risks and benefits will be discussed with you thoroughly during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
After the procedure, the mole is sent for analysis in a laboratory if needed. You’ll receive aftercare advice to help with healing and minimise scarring. You and your GP will be informed of the results, usually within a week but longer if specialised tests are recommended by the pathologist.
Yes, a consultation is essential to assess the mole, discuss your options, and recommend the best course of action.
