Moles, also known as nevi, are common skin lesions that may be present at birth or develop over time. They can naturally evolve throughout life and may vary in color, size, shape, and appearance ranging from skin-colored and pink to brown or blue. Moles can occur anywhere on the body, and each person’s pattern is unique.
A comprehensive skin evaluation by a dermatologist is essential to establish a baseline and to carefully monitor for subtle changes over time. Dr. Doyle performs thorough skin examinations to assess existing moles and identify any that may warrant closer attention. Any mole that is new, changing, or becoming symptomatic should be evaluated in person to ensure appropriate diagnosis and care.
