Mole Removal Anaheim
Moles are a common occurrence on the skin, with most people having between 10 to 40 of them. Although many moles are harmless, some choose to have them removed for cosmetic or irritative reasons.

Trust Dr. Ardesh and his team for top-notch mole removal in Anaheim. Our experts have extensive experience in treating both cosmetic and pre-cancerous concerns.
Types of Moles
Moles exhibit diverse shapes and sizes, including flat moles, raised moles, and pre-cancerous moles. Flat moles manifest as dark spots on the skin, usually in small sizes. Raised moles, on the other hand, can vary in size and color, extending beneath the skin's surface. Both types of moles may display different textures. For those who find moles undesirable, particularly on the face or neck, removal is a common choice.
Pre-cancerous moles are a grave concern. They often undergo noticeable changes in size, shape, and color and may even bleed. If you notice any of these signs, it is vital to promptly have the mole inspected by your dermatologist. During the examination, they will assess the mole using the ABCDEs, which represent Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Evolution.
