Our gentle, expert approach focuses on accuracy, comfort, and skin health — helping you maintain smooth, confident, and worry-free skin.

FAQ – Mole Problems & Solutions

What causes moles to appear?

Moles form when skin cells (melanocytes) grow in clusters instead of spreading evenly. They can develop naturally or due to factors like genetics, sun exposure, or hormonal changes.

Are all moles dangerous?

Most moles are harmless, but any mole that changes in size, color, shape, or texture should be examined. At Averagederm, our experts perform thorough mole checks to ensure your skin’s health and safety.

How does Averagederm remove moles?

We offer safe, minimally invasive mole removal treatments using advanced techniques such as laser therapy or surgical excision. Each method is chosen based on the mole type, size, and location to ensure precise, scar-minimized results.

Is mole removal painful?

You may experience some mild discomfort depending on the plan of action taken. Rest assured, procedures are quick and performed under local anesthesia or numbing cream to ensure a painless experience with minimal downtime.

Will mole removal leave a scar?

Scarring is rare and usually minimal. Averagederm’s skilled specialists use precise techniques and post-treatment care to promote smooth healing and clear skin.

When should I see a doctor about a mole?

If a mole changes in color, size, or shape, or starts bleeding or itching, you should have it checked immediately. Early evaluation helps rule out serious skin conditions like melanoma.
