What Are Moles?
A mole, or nevus, is a common skin growth caused by a cluster of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. Moles can be present at birth or appear later in life, often during childhood, adolescence, or times of hormonal change (like pregnancy).
They can vary in:
- Colour Most are brown or black, but some may be skin-coloured, red, or even blue
- Shape & Size Round or oval, usually smaller than 6mm, though some may be larger
- Texture Flat, raised, smooth, rough, or even hairy
Most moles are completely harmless, but itβs important to monitor them over time for any changes.
When Should You Be Concerned?
While the majority of moles are benign, some may develop atypical features, and in rare cases, they can indicate melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer.
Use the ABCDE Rule to Check Your Moles
- A β Asymmetry One half doesnβt match the other
- B β Border Edges are uneven, ragged, or blurred
- C β Colour Uneven tones or multiple colours (brown, black, red, white, blue)
- D β Diameter Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)
- E β Evolving Changes in size, colour, shape, or new symptoms like itching, bleeding, or crusting
Even if a mole isnβt medically concerning, you may still consider removal for cosmetic reasons, or if it causes irritation from clothing or shaving.
At Revitalise London, we take mole screening seriously β especially if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer.
How We Diagnose Moles
Our GMC-certified dermatologists will start with a thorough visual exam using a dermatoscope, a specialised magnifying device that allows us to assess the moleβs shape, colour, and structure in detail.
If thereβs any concern about the mole being atypical or high-risk, we may recommend a biopsy and send the sample for histology (lab testing).
For patients with many moles or a family history of skin cancer, we offer full-body mole mapping and digital monitoring.
Accurate diagnosis is the first step to safe, effective mole removal.

At Revitalise London, we follow a safe and personalised 4-step process:
- Consultation Discuss concerns and goals with a GMC-certified dermatologist.
- Treatment Planning We recommend the most suitable removal method (and biopsy if required).
- Removal Procedure Performed under local anaesthetic, usually within 30 minutes.
- Aftercare Youβll receive wound care instructions and follow-up if needed. Suspicious moles are sent for testing.

Removal Methods We Offer
We use clinically approved mole removal techniques based on your skin type, mole location, and goals:
- Shave Excision
Ideal for raised moles. Quick, no stitches, and leaves minimal scarring. - Surgical Excision
Best for deeper or suspicious moles. Involves stitches and may leave a fine linear scar. - Laser Removal
For small, non-suspicious cosmetic moles. No cutting β uses light to break down pigment.
