Dear Reader, Alice will assume you're referring to noncancerous, or benign, moles on the skin. Pre-cancerous and malignant moles, of course, need to be removed. However, this procedure is purely cosmetic.
Most dermatologists can perform cosmetic mole removals.
The procedure involves shaving the mole off. After removing the mole, a sample is sent to a lab in order to make sure that it is not cancerous. In the majority of cases, only one office visit is required to have a mole removed, plus a follow-up visit. There is no medical basis for the removal, or treatment of any kind, of noncancerous moles. In fact, they are a common part of the landscape of adult skin.
