On average an individual may have up to sixty moles by early adulthood. One or two are present at birth, while most develop during life. Over time moles have a tendency to enlarge and stick out. Most of the time this is completely normal. The majority of moles will never cause any problems. However, changes in moles or any other spots on the skin can indicate a potential problem.
Moles that are asymmetrical in shape, have irregular edges, are more than one color, are bigger than the eraser of the pencil, show unusual thickening, or grow dramatically within a short period of time should be checked by your dermatologist without delay. Also, if you have a large number of moles you should have the moles documented and be instructed on how to perform regular self skin exams.
During your consult Dr. Daoud and her team will conduct a full exam to document and determine if your moles are of concern.
