Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe
  • Biopsy or surgical removal (excision) may be done so the mole may be examined by a specialist (pathologist) to determine the actual diagnosis. This procedure may be performed by a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or other type of surgeon.
  • As noted previously, people with multiple moles and atypical moles should be followed regularly by a dermatologist. Whole-body photography or photographs of individual moles may be helpful in following these people.
